As the autumn wind whispers
Through the tall and lonely pines
And the hour of fate is
Drawing close at hand
Freebird falling from the sky
Brings a bitter end
To another southern man
(But) There's a grey ghost
Runnin' through the night
An echo of the sadness and the pain
Grey ghost runnin' through the night
The man is gone but his spirit will
remain
Fast like them, the music is
Just a thin disguise
For the heartache and
The fear of goin' old
Without the one that means the most
It makes you realize that
You're the one left out in the cold
Repeat Chorus
The dealer of death
Has dealt the losing hand
And it's a cold fact
The cards don't ever lie
Through the fire dream of things to
come
It's such a price to pay
When the memories
Are all that's left behind
Repeat Chorus
