Kind Ghosts

[Verse 1]
I hung my wolves up high in the pine trees
Like cannonball sails, they wouldn't stay hung
And somewhere somebody's scarecrow is crying
How could I've not noticed the hammers that did me in?

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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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?

[Outro]
When I needed you
When I needed you
