Chasing Ghosts

just woke up one morning 
summer turned to early fall 
found you’d left without a warning 
you were gone and that was all 

and it hit me from the blue
there was nothing I could say 
there were things I never know 
things that made you go away

you were willing to take chances 
there was nothing I could do
you had questions without answers 
and all those things I never knew

I felt the changing seasons 
tried to call you on the phone
tried to understand your reasons
only wish that I had known

heard you moved out to the west 
you were living on the coast 
I went out to try to find you 
ended up just chasing ghosts

I had no way of knowing
you had ghosts there of your own 
and those feeling just kept growing 
only wish that I had known

I guess you had your reasons 
and those reasons mattered most
to go after your own demons 
ended up just chasing ghosts
