Lyrics & Music by Billy MacNeil

   Quarter Moon Music BMI 2004

That black cat

crossed your path

how could love be so cruel

will you laugh

looking back

or will you feel like a fool

When time is racing

like a runaway train

it’s only a ghost you are chasing

only the ghost of change

Just like that

years will pass

and with them your youth

are you glad for what you have

there’s no escaping the truth

When time is racing

like a runaway train

it’s only a ghost you are chasing

only the ghost of change

Only a ghost

only a ghost

only the ghost of change

Only a ghost

only a ghost

only the ghost of change

(repeat *)

That black cat

crossed your path

how could love be so cruel

it’s only the ghost of change

*
