If you see me all alone
Well, will you just mind your own
I am trying to walk on home
I need to rest my bones
And I wanna be alone
And don't tell me to stay still
Don't you know I never will
I'll keep on moving 'til
All my spirit has been killed
So don't tell me to stay still
I'll tell you all my fears
If you promise to be near
You can have my heart, my dear
But I'll cry for a thousand years
If I tell you all my fears
I can see all of it too
The ghosts that circle me and you
In the drawings that I drew
All the ghosts, some old, some new
I can see all of them, too
And don't holler at me, man
And don't try to hold my hand
I didn't think you'd understand
But I'm happy as I am
So don't holler at me man
People think I turned out right
But they don't hear me in the night
I worry if the sun don't shine
Then I'll be crying all the time
People think I turned out right
And when I see those golden rays
I know I'm in for better days
Like the birds fly from the bay
I will free my mournful ways
When I see those golden rays
