SUMMONER'S TALES...
"I wrote 'Ghost Story' as dusk was falling one night and a beautiful sky and sun was sinking. Winter was coming on and the birds were flying south. All of those images in the song were real - I just wrote then down. It's really about the past catching up and putting you on trial on a nightly basis, the same old trial, the same old questions."
