lyrics

When you were small the ghost was just a doll
Grew up alone in the thick of it all
Crying your la la la's your mama gave her love away
Invited company who never meant to stay

Grew into your body, got your own place
Met easy people with a similar face
Above and below you learned to smoke
And now you wanna stay
Rattling the change in the jar, there's enough to get through the day

Was it something you saw?
Asound that you heard?
Floorboards creak unforgivable words
I didn't hear it, I didn't feel it
Was anyone there at all?

Outgrew your body, moved out of your place
Bought a reclining chair, another morning to hate
Crying your la la la's your papa gave his life away
He put on a uniform and never went out to play

Was it something you saw?
Asound that you heard?
Floorboards creak unforgivable words
I didn't hear it, I didn't feel it
Was anyone there at all?

I didn't hear it, I didn't feel it
Was anyone there at all?
