“She’ll tell you this house is haunted, but I believe the
truth of the matter is that people get haunted.
Not places.” ~ Will Laughlin
I had another dream about your absent goodbye
There was a standing crow cawing to the sky
He spoke of open wings
And he spoke of flight
I heard him from my heart
Yes from the deepest part
Freedom is a lonesome drive
Where fathers leave
And mothers cry
Then all the children wonder, why?
I know this in my heart
Yes from the deepest part
I stood at the window facing south
Yet not in those walls
But outside that house
hunting familiar ghosts
like a boy scout
I have seen them in
my heart
Yes from the deepest part
Regret is a mirage down a long hot road
A broken-down car that cannot leave home
It steals and borrows until you're broke
I have seen this in my heart
Yes from the deepest part.
