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 light show 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
