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
