Sweet Ghost of Mine:
You sold the house down the street
It’s always covered with leaves
Even in the spring
Took all your mother’s possessions
To the street and just left them
Like out-of-date magazines
And I love losing it
And oh sweet ghost of mine
Who haunts that lonesome river side
You never took the time to know
That all you had was gold
Now I’m not gonna lend you a thing
I put my ear to the ground
I made piece with the sounds
That shake me from my sleep
Because I’m always looking for distractions
All those private reactions
That won’t let me be
