Ghosts In The Yard

from Horseplay EP by Garden Ruin

lyrics

I dug the grave for my youth
Blessed it with a twisted bicycle
and a broken tooth
It was raining, the cold was sudden
The house was sold
and my hands were bloody

Give my regards
To the ghosts of the yard
Of my street
Of my town
Everyone's coming around

I dug the grave for my youth
In an overgrown garden plot
The earth shimmered through
A sense of foreboding, a sense of relief
Spilling in-can-ta-tions
On my hands and my knees

Give my regards
To the ghosts of the yard
Of my street
Of my town
Everyone's coming around

I dug the grave for my youth
I didn't kill it off
Anyhow who'd have the proof?
Hauling a sack into the boot
Starting the engine
and seeing this through

Give my regards
To the ghosts of the yard
Of my street
Of my town
Everyone's coming around
