Been living down the wrong side of town
I should move up to the right
Maybe I should make a move tonight
All alone I hear a sound
A voice within said: It's just the wind
A ghost of mist closes in
The early mornin' is wakin' up

And the ghost, he sings
Wake up, wake up
You're allowed to let it out
Nobody knows what you're thinkin'
Wake up, wake up
And bail the water out
Before you start sinkin'
It's just the wind
Says the voice within

Been sifting out the dirt in the ground
I've been tryna find some gold
Even if I do find something new
When does something new become something old?
All alone I hear a sound
A voice within said: It's just the wind
A ghost of mist closes in
The early mornin' is wakin' up

And the ghost, he sings
Wake up, wake up
You're allowed to let it out
Nobody knows what you're thinkin'
Wake up, wake up
And bail the water out
Before you start sinkin'
It's just the wind
Says the voice within
And the ghost, he grins
'Cause he knows that it's him
