The Ghost of Stevie Ray - Sandi Thom

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
