Rider Ghost ( lyrics)

Rider Ghost is an older number from my big pile of songs I've written over the years. ( it is also on an older album of mine called Comes and Goes...and has a really different feel to it) I wrote the song during a dry spell from Gigs, music business, and even writing. I got pretty discouraged about the idea of making art into business, and decided to just give up my aspirations to get better known in the world. Though creating is an amazing gift, it is also a burden. This song is the first song that burst out of me, and I think it showed me what will happen when I try to "quit"... 

RIDER GHOST    ( Amelia White)

Who's that rider ghost coming down the road?

who's that rider ghost heading towards my house?

mamma we don't want him here, Daddy make him go,

lock the door and light the fire bright.

CHORUS

Glory Hallelujah send this ghost away I don't wanna see another day hallelujah rider ghost be gone in darkness I will sing this song, I will sing this song

darkest rider ghost coming in my house 

deep dark magic is swirling 'round my bed

coldest wind is blowing here, embers have burned out

im down on my knees begging for the light

CHORUS

big chill running up my backbone embers have gone white

i'm down on my knees, down on my knees

CHORUS

who's that rider ghost coming in my house?

who's that rider ghost?
