Laramee

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
