Track Insight / Lyrics
Grey diner, a late-night shrine
3am, I'm back in the booth where we shine
A Polaroid of your face on the Formica table
Echoes of your laugh, how I miss that ability
To conjure your smile, have you right there
But city lights hide the stars and my heart's in despair
Time passes, the world moves on
But this roadside booth where our hearts were won
Still holds a secret, a flickering light
That leads me back to you on these endless nights
Starlight stalker, the phantom in the rain
Haunted by your face, in the midnight pain
I'll follow your ghost, day into the night
Home to our booth, to relive the delight
Lonely neon signs, they flicker and whine
As I pass by each familiar haunt of mine
No comfort in the arms of strangers I face
For neither love nor home can take your place
In the still of dawn, I'll return to the street
Where shadows of memories repeat the bitter beat
Time passes, the world moves on
But this roadside booth where our hearts were won
Still holds a secret, a flickering light
That leads me back to you on these endless nights
Starlight stalker, the phantom in the rain
Haunted by your face, in the midnight pain
I'll follow your ghost, day into the night
Home to our booth, to relive the delight
A fragile mirage of our love in the haze
The moment we shared in the fading grey
Would I trade this endless chase, this bittersweet thrall
For the solace of forgetting, and never calling your name at all?
Starlight stalker, the phantom in the rain
Haunted by your face, in the midnight pain
I'll follow your ghost, day into the night
Home to our booth, to relive the delight
In the neon haze, our story's out of view
But the phantom in the rain will forever be true
