Nina Jo Smith - Ghost in a Hurricane

Ghost in a Hurricane

You get cash for clothes
sell blood for beer
It’s the end of the month
at the end of the year

At the end of the year
in freezing rain
Under the eves
your cupped hand again

Evaporate, forget the pain
Sleep in the shadows, walk in the rain
Evaporate, forget the pain,
You’re a ghost in a hurricane

Your cupped hand again
The street is dark
Rags with a bottle
pushing a cart

Pushing a cart
stoked with rage
Yelling the same thing
over again

Yelling the same thing over again
Light shifts under clouds
Light, then dark,
you go quiet, then loud

Quiet, then loud
Bursting at the seams
Evaporate, forget the pain
Ghost in a hurricane

Evaporate, release the pain
Ghost in a hurricane
