Ghost Writing
What happens at home since I've gone away
Needles drop soft and sharp
And the leaves gently sway
Low ceiling moves in and circles the bay
Rain makes the trees
Sound that's counted so many days
So many days
Wet shoes drag you off to school
Shoes that never dry
Crows curse and beat their wings
Why can't you be smarter girl
Lift up your face
Don't feel sorry for yourself
Always wait for you
Your ghost is a lightshow at night
On the Grand Cooley Dam
We're always watching you
At the drive-in tonight
Who will they comfort now
Since I've gone away
