Ghosts

Find a way
Back home
Where the shade has gathered
Ever since we left here
And the trees have overgrown

I forgot you in a way
Since then
The weeds drew up and covered
Up the doorstep
And the floors have given way

I still pray for rain
In my sleep
A place we meant to keep
I'll lay my head beneath
Somewhere the ghosts still meet

And if I woke too soon
To see them fade from view
Into the afternoon
Somewhere I thought I knew
You'll weather when I'm gone

Dead of night
In time
The shapes all sway together
Where the trees bend
And they gather in the light

Then they all just stepped away
In time
I'll forget whatever may have
Changed here
With the first of the light

The shade has left my sight
In my sleep
A place we meant to keep
I'll lay my head beneath
Somewhere the ghosts still meet

And if I woke too soon
To see them fade from view
Into the afternoon
Somewhere I thought I knew

You'll weather when I'm gone
In my sleep
A place we meant to keep
I'll lay my head beneath
Somewhere the ghosts still meet

And if I woke too soon
To see them fade from view
Into the afternoon
Somewhere I thought I knew
You'll weather when I'm gone
