Lyrics The Ghost of Stevie Ray - Sandi Thom

The Ghost of Stevie Ray

A thousand miles we drove the jangle, to the land of the setting sun
And dark stood the air on the candle, it played every gig but one
And as I walked into the back room I felt a shiver down my spine
The memory takes me back every time
Went down to the crossroads, and chased these lonely blues away
So I’m standing in the shadow as he played
And now that I can see him here
I believe every note that he plays
Was like dancing with the ghost of Stevie Ray
There’s a sign across the door way, just turn the light off as you go
He only plays in darkness, he only plays a solo show
But you don’t need a ticket
You don’t need to walk on the line
He’ll take you where the sun don’t ever shine
Went down to the crossroads, and chased these lonely blues away
So I’m standing in the shadow as he played
And now that I can see him here
I believe every note that he plays
Was like dancing with the ghost of Stevie Ray
Going down to the crossroads, and chased these lonely blues away
So I’m standing in the shadow as he played
And now that I can see him here
I believe every note that he plays
It’s like I’m dancing with the ghost of Stevie Ray
I was dancing with the ghost of Stevie Ray
I was dancing with the ghost of Stevie Ray
