With the wheat brown forest all around me You turned into a whisper Not a soul in my sight, couldn't hear past the trees I was starting to forget ya
And so I woke up this morning And I made my way back to the city we lived in It's been a while since you packed up And you laid down for the world, like a pawn of your plans And I did just the same All mine are coming up bland
And ever since you left, I've been boring I've been sitting on my words Like I'm waiting for you to reach right in and pull 'em out
Ever since you left, I've been chewing off my tongue Trying not to tell you wrong I'm not me since you left me in doubt
I found a body in the trees He was withered down to smithereens His soul left him somewhere halfway to Laramee
Rumor says his spirit walks these streets And deafens you with a haunting scream If it keeps you out, it must be a dream Over you, I can't hear anything
Oh, he can drag me down to hell I still hope you're doing well Hope you turn your records on sometimes and think of me
'Cause someday I'll be the man who walks these streets Screamin' out my wants and need Hope you hear me in the distance hollering
I'll be your ghost, I'll always love you I'll wait in these woods, singing this broken tune I'll be your ghost, I'll always love you Won't you come back to me, come back to me, come back to me? Come right back
