What happens at home since I've gone away 
Needles drop soft and sharp 
And the leaves gently sway 
Low ceiling moves in and circles the bay 
Rain rakes the trees 
The Sound that's counted so many days 
So many days 

Wet shoes drag you off to school 
Shoes that never dry 
Crows curse and beat their wings 
Why can't you be smarter girl? 
Lift up your face 

Don't feel sorry for yourself 
I'll always wait for you 
Your ghost is a lightshow at night 
On the Grand Coulee Dam 
The river is watching you 
At the drive-in tonight 
Who do they comfort now
