Ghosts of You and Me

[Verse 1]

Goodbye, Mary

Sweet mother mine

Grey as sky, gunmetal eyes

Beneath the needle tree

The ghosts of you and me, they

They sing the saddest song

Just one last breath and gone

[Verse 2]

Some say this highway seven

Is a long and lonesome road

Don't ask me, little Rosa

Which direction I am gone

I used to love

And take the southern special

Winter, summer, rise or fall

Now I ride the national

[Chorus 1]

If I had a black cat bone

Then I would not be alone

Julie, darling, dig my grave

The cemetery is my own

[Verse 3]

Goodbye, Mary

Sweet mother mine

Grey as sky, gunmetal eyes

Under a needle tree

The ghosts of you and me, they

They sang the saddest song

Just one last breath and gone

[Verse 4]

I used to love

And take the southern special

Winter, summer, rise or fall

Now I take the national

Some say this highway seven

Is a long and lonesome road

Don't ask me, little Rosa, which direction, I don't know

[Chorus 2]

If I had a black cat bone

Then I would not be alone

If I had a black cat bone

Then I would not be alone
