Kansas Ghosts Lyrics

Ghosts Lyrics

There's tombstone in a snowy field

Close by an old ghost town

The
epitaph's been weather-blown away

There's a belltower where petitions
peeled

It's been half torn down

But it must have softened every soul
that came to pray



There's a schoolhouse full of broken glass

And
wounded walls

The rusty swings like derelicts sleeping in the
weeds

There's a picture-graduation class

Staring down deserted
halls

"THE HOPE OF 44" is what it reads



It's just as if some
restless wind blew their dreams away far away

It's just as if those dreams
had never been but oh-

I feel their ghosts around me now- I hear them
say

They've come back home to dream those dreams again
