Child Ghost 02:52
Child ghost follow me around the house hide in my coats Face of glimmer stone soft as smoke, all alone Gold air and spring wafting through your hair Lull me to sleep for a night I dream in your moonbeams soon you’ll scatter in the morning light Child Ghost Where’s your home for me?

Mother hums father never speaks clothes are cotton words are gasoline I could be the man who never speaks silence, silence insulates me You brought me to the clouds a-clearing I’m so cold then the frost leaves through my teeth, I speak: Please be the man and I will speak for you I put on my walking shoes and I go for miles I don’t know what I will lose but I am trying I will be the man no more of me to my dear ignite these weary feet flames and lakes and mountains I will be I’m walking and singing who loved me? Flames and lakes and mountains I will be Who loved me? I put on my walking shoes and I go for miles I don’t know what I will lose but I am trying I will talk and I will muse and I’ll fill your quiet I don’t know what I will lose but I am trying I put on my walking shoes and I’ll fill your quiet I don’t know what I will lose but I am trying
