Kind Ghosts

Hey
Hey

I hung my wolves up high in the pine trees
Like cannonball sails, they wouldn't stay hung
And somewhere, somebody's scarecrow is cryin'
How could I've not noticed the hammers that did me in?

Oh, where were you, my kind ghosts
When I needed you?
Oh, where were you, my kind ghosts
When I needed you?

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

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?

When I needed you
When I needed you
