Ghost Writing Lyrics

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?
