To The Ghosts Who Write History Books

To them ghosts that write history books

To them ghosts that write songs

Everyone asks would you write one about me

To them ghosts in the train yard

All them ghosts in my drink

Your money's no good here just write one about me

And when you go, where the winds are strong

When you go where flowers bend

Please take along all the best of my luck and come back

Unchanged

Your demons all tamed

Your flowers uncut

And when you go where the winds are strong

Where soldiers carve their stones

Please take along all the best of my luck and come back

Unchanged

Your demons all tamed

Your flowers uncut

To them ghosts that write history books

To them ghosts that write songs

Everyone asks would you write one about me

To them ghosts in the train yard

All them ghosts in my drink

Your money's no good here just write one about me
