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 rakes the trees

The 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

I'll always wait for you

Your ghost is a lightshow at night

On the Grand Coulee Dam

The river is watching you

At the drive-in tonight

Who do they comfort now

Since I've gone away
