Ghostly Girl

Jolie Holland


Ghostly girl 
Too light to stand on the ground 
Nothing you do is done 
All I can tell 
You are not real 
Girl, what are you doing here 
I don't know why I am here myself 
No one else seems to know 
Nobody likes a spook 
Or so I've deduced 
But I have loved some ghosts in my time 
But that doesn't mean I want them around 
I'd rather be lost than found 
I thought I would loose my mind 
But through your eyes I see 
Past the billboards to the trees 
And the flowering weeds 
Grow throught the cracks of the city 
And all these things will go 
And all these seeds will grow 
And you'll be home in the sky
