lyrics

I hear no whisper in the wireless, only static on the dial
And I can’t account for all those lost miles
There’s a cold front crossing the Midwest, I believe it’s Fargo bound
My head’s heavy as the fog that’s lifting from the ground

So don’t try and get hold of me; you know I’m out of range
I won’t come up on your radar, I’ll make your signals go strange
‘Round here the roads all lead somewhere, but somewhere really far
And the skies are the colour of a sunburst guitar

Sometimes your cards will come up, sometimes they’ll disappear
Sometimes they’ll lead you to the thing you long for the most
All the while the wheel is turning and just as soon as we’re here
We’re gone once more, and I’m searching for Buddy Holly’s ghost

There’s an angel in the rear-view, there’s a catcher in the rye
An apparition of innocence behind horn-rimmed eyes
And the cold front crosses the Midwest, I believe it’s Fargo bound
My head’s heavy as the plane that’s lifted from the ground

Sometimes your cards will come up, but no matter what you’ve got
I will always win the game but I’m not one to boast
And I’m reading your future outside a corner shop
And every night I’m haunted by Buddy Holly’s ghost
And every night I’m haunted by Buddy Holly’s ghost
And all my life I’m haunted by Buddy Holly’s ghost
