2. Ghost Town Kite
Ghost Town Kite
When he died
I dressed in white like a bride
And walked through the ghost town along the riverside
Blood red rose
Passersby in mourning clothes
Lamp posts taped with signs and photos
Make it all still true
Still photograph of you
Taking flight, a ghost town kite
I remember you
When sun broke
Through the river mist and smoke
It drew shadows underneath an ancient oak
How could I know
I would see him in the crow
Crying high in the branches of a willow
Make it all still true
Black crow black against deep blue
Black crow cry and then you fly
And I remember you
Make it all still true
Black and white of me with you
Taking flight, a ghost town kite
I remember you
