Ghost Beside My Bed

(A song written by the band "Altered State" in the 1990s, long before I was married with children. The lyrics and music touched me so deeply though. Looking back, this may have been the first seed planted in my spiritual journey although it sat dormant for many years after hearing.)

It could've been a blessing or it could have been a dream Things aren't always what they seem It happened in a instant it happened at night Married to the moment like a bird in flight I saw it once and it started to fade I reached out to touch and i asked it to stay Please please precious light must you leave so soon tonight I'm either dreaming or i'm out of my head There's no ghost beside my bed My skin feels so cold my heart beats like it gonna explode There's no fear there's no fright Just another visit from a spirit in the night Can somebody tell me what this means to me Or show me the truth behind what i see Please please precious light must you leave so soon tonight I'm either dreaming or i'm out of my head There's no ghost beside my bed Are you a message from the grey beyond Or my mind telling me sanity's gone It must be dreaming or i'm out of my head There's no ghost beside my bed I feel strange I feel so strained I can't explain i feel so strange.......
