Just a Ghost

She never said "I didn't ask for this" but it was right there on her lips Dirt poor and raising four on her own "It's just the season that I'm in" she said, with a crooked grin But seasons don't change much where I live Days are long and years are short, the needle's on the record "You'll be fine someday" you tell your soul Talk of hope just makes you bored when it's never getting better You'll live someday, now you're just a ghost Yeah, you're just a ghost I'm not fooling anyone, I guess just trying to do my very best She made her point with a half-hearted laugh Maybe things could change real soon and she'd be twirling round the quiet room But that may never be what she gets Days are long and years are short, the needle's on the record "You'll be fine someday" you tell your soul Talk of hope just makes you bored when it's never getting better You'll live someday, now you're just a ghost Yeah, you're just a ghost Days are long and years are short, the needle's on the record "You'll be fine someday" you tell your soul Talk of hope just makes you bored when it's never getting better You'll live someday, now you're just a ghost You'll live someday, now you're just a ghost Yeah, you're just a ghost Just a ghost
