Kind Ghosts

[Verse 1]

I hung my wolves up high in the pine trees

Like cannonball sails, they wouldn't stay hung

And somewhere somebody's scarecrow is crying

How could I've not noticed the hammers that did me in?

[Chorus]

Oh, where were you, my kind ghosts

When I needed you?

Oh, where were you, my kind ghosts

When I needed you?

[Verse 2]

I came to drink more whiskey than water

Nailed up and confused, like a horse on a highway

Come to me my lamb, I'll wait in the magnolia

I've swallowed a phantom and I forgot how to breathe

[Chorus]

Oh, where were you, my kind ghosts

When I needed you?

Oh, where were you, my kind ghosts

When I needed you?

Oh, where were you, my kind ghosts

When I needed you?

Oh, where were you, my kind ghosts

When I needed you?

[Outro]

When I needed you

When I needed you
