lyrics

The ghost of Dakota
she is haunting all my dreams
assailing my memories
as I try to sleep
she is issuing a nightmare
and I'm sinking in too deep
wandering these halls
so that I cannot speak

Dakota, Dakota
Are you nothing more to me?
Dakota, Dakota
Nothing more than a dream?

Bring the ghost of Milwaukee
and her hundred shining teeth
sharpened to a point
looking for something to eat
And where did I go wrong?
I tried to keep it on my feet
I was tipsy and tumbling
but my legs were just too weak

Dakota, Dakota
You mean so much more to me
Dakota, Dakota
much more than any dream

V3
The ghost of my baby
she's still wandering
From Dakota to Milwaukee
and the spaces in between

(chorus to ending)
