A candle lights a moonless space
A faint memory getting bright
He can't remember her face
Just her green eyes
And the green grass under his bare feet
He knows she is returning
After a lifetime
A heartache
He can't run away from
The ghost in the electric cage
He sees her attitude
He sees her gestures
Her image is so clear
A phantom, a dream, a nightmare
Time and space in her green eyes
Everything again
He knows she is returning
After a lifetime
A heartache
He can't make her go away
The ghost in the electric cage
Time goes by
She goes, he remains
The candlelight is moving away
He tries to make her stay, but he can't
She's the ghost in the electric cage
He knows she will return
After a lifetime
A heartache
He will wait day-to-day for
The ghost in the electric cage
He knows she is returning
After a lifetime
A heartache
He can't run away from
The ghost in the electric cage
He knows she will return
After a lifetime
A heartache
He will wait day-to-day for
The ghost in the electric cage
