Collin Kelly-Sordelet - Ghost Story (Broadway Version) lyrics

[Gideon] There in the western sky the moon is sinking The geese are flying south, it sets me thinking I did not miss you much. I did not suffer What didn't k** me just made me tougher I feel the winter come His icy sinews Now in the cold starlight the case continues Another night in court The same old trial The same old questions asked The same denial Another winter comes, his icy fingers creep Into these bones of mine – these memories never sleep They say I stole your face, these hands I borrowed And they could make a case, why should it follow That I would love you? [Tom, spoken] So it's true? [Gideon, spoken] What? What are you doing here? What are you following me? [Tom, spoken] I've waited my whole life to meet you, and you were just going to leave without telling us. I think that's bollocks [Gideon, spoken] It's for the best [Tom, spoken] I can see how you never lost a fight. You just run away [Gideon, spoken] I am not running from now't [Tom, spoken] We're launching that boat tomorrow morning. We still need a captain [Gideon, spoken] It's mad. It's a mad thing and you should have no part of it [Tom, spoken] You have no right to tell me anything [Gideon, spoken] Oh for the love of Christ, Tom. Don't waste your life on old men and sinking ships [Tom, spoken] Did you learn that from him? [Gideon, spoken] No, I learned nothing from him! [Tom, spoken] Like Hell, you're just like him. And I'm never going to be anything like you [Gideon, spoken] Wait! Wait, boy! (sung) What is a force that binds the stars? I wore this mask to hide my scars What is the pow'r that pulls the tide? I never could find a place to hide [Gideon (Men)] What moves the earth around the sun? (ah) What could I do but run and run and run? Afraid to love, afraid to fail... (In our hands are the tools that we leave to our sons) A mast without a sail (Traditions and sk**s that we hope to pa** on) A mast without a sail. (‘Til we sail) [Gideon] The moon's a fingernail, and slowly sinking Another day begins, and now I'm thinking That this indifference was my invention When everything I did sought your attention [Gideon & Tom] You were my compa** star You were my measure You were a pirate's map Of buried treasure [Gideon (Tom)] If this was all correct, (I didn't really miss you much,) The last thing I'd expect, (I didn't really suffer.) [Gideon] The prosecution rests It's time that I confessed I must have loved you [Gideon & Tom] I must have loved you [Gideon] I must have loved you I must have loved you
