I am the being who walks through walls
The shadow not quite on your stair
You can never really see or be sure
That I am or am not really there
I walk those narrow corridors squeezed
Between those differing world and ages
Sweeping up and mending systems needing
Tuning, checking programmed stages
To keep the multiverse's progress
Within the parameters loosely set.
Many think they have seen me
But none have caught me yet.
My contract is to eternity
And all that I can ask
Is that I be allowed
To carry out my task.
They think they can catch me
As I bend time and space
Instantaneously between
Every existant place.
There is always a silent leakage
As I pass from host to host
The tell tale patch of coldness
Said to indicate the Ghost.
I have to move so quickly
I don't think I could fix
The resulting chaos caused
By letting two worlds mix.
I close each door a quickly
Make sure each is docked
Before moving through
To complete the interlock.
I find space time anomalies
Which I promptly heal and close
Once a world of dinosaurs
Passed through one of those
The programmes wouldn't let me
Quicklyenough bend hyperspace
So they left intriguing puzzles
In that other parallel place.
I am the being who walks through walls
The shadow not quite on your stair
You can never really see or be sure
That I am or am not really there.
The shadow not quite on your stair
You can never really see or be sure
That I am or am not really there

Between those differing world and ages
