Phantom Writer Lyrics

I opened my eyes this morning, looked through my window outside
Suddenly something took me away by surprise
Veil on the skyline, written in broad daylight
My own name was there, how it gave me a terrible fright

Yeah, yeah, phantom writer
My name's in the sky
Yeah, yeah, phantom writer
Why? Why, oh, why?
Phantom writer
Tell me you're real or are you alive?


Like a sunrise, eat my home bread sign
And all too soon, I can get to fade the lines
Coming hopes, as I felt my mood fading away
Now I'm somewhere, screaming out in the day

Yeah, yeah, phantom writer
My name's in the sky
Yeah, yeah, phantom writer
Why? Why, oh, why?
Phantom writer
Know that you're in, there's love in your eyes

Yeah


Yeah, yeah, phantom writer
My name's in the sky
Yeah, yeah, phantom writer
Why? Why, oh, why?

There is more than one artist using the name Gary Wright.

1) Australian electronic musician contributing to the compilation album Electronic Music University of Melbourne in 1980, on the EMI sublabel EMI Custom Records.

2) Gary Wright (born April 26, 1943 in Creskill, New Jersey, USA) is an American pop and rock singer-songwriter, most famous for his song "Dream Weaver". He was also a member of 'Spooky Tooth' and has worked with 'Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band'.

Gary Wright, a friend of George Harrison, appeared in a TV show at the age of 7. Later he came to Europe to continue studying psychology. In 1967 he joined the band Spooky Tooth as singer and keyboardist. After Spooky Tooth's split in 1974, he continued his solo career culminating in "Dream Weaver". The single peaked at #2 for 3 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1976, and went gold. It was also featured in the Wayne's World film and soundtrack. Later that year, his follow-up single "Love Is Alive" also reached #2 (for 2 weeks). Ronnie Montrose played guitar on the Gary Wright song "Power Of Love" from the Dream Weaver album.

This would be the last significant success Wright would achieve on the pop chart until 1981, when he returned with "Really Wanna Know You, a bouncy, bass-heavy pop song that hit #16. His 1981 song "Comin' Apart" was sampled by Armand van Helden in the 2004 club music anthem "My, My, My".

On June 8, 2010, Gary Wright released Connected, his first new pop/rock album in over 20 years. The album's lead single "Satisfied" has special guest appearances by Ringo Starr on drums, with both Joe Walsh and Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter on guitar. Wright continues to tour, most recently as a member of the supergroup 'Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band'.
