[ Featuring The Coal Miners ]
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
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
And oh, he can drag me down to hell
I'll 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
Screaming out my wants and needs
I hope you hear me in the distance hollering
I'll be a ghost
I'll always love you
I will 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
