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
