Ghost Writing

What happens at home since Ive 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 thats 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 cant you be smarter girl

Lift up your face

Dont feel sorry for yourself

Always wait for you

Your ghost is a lightshow at night

On the Grand Cooley Dam

Were always watching you

At the drive-in tonight

Who will they comfort now

Since Ive gone away
