Lyrics:
Been a long time, in a low place Surrounded by what I have made Need to get away Get away from what relates And what was done Cuz it's all over now Through the woods, I come running to loose leaf And carve my name In the lines, there's not a trace I hear the ghost whisper, and those old eyes watching me But I feel safe Grandfather looking over me He said: Don't make them wait Gotta go a long way Let's be brave Don't make them wait Nah, don't make them wait I sat down, with a coffee on my bent knee Looking out, at the burnt land, looking back at me These used to be green crops And high on a summer breeze No it's fallow fields and clear-cut barren weeds They said that if I stared The abyss would stare back at me So I did... And I felt it slowly creep in me Save for the smoke, that danced when I took a drag It made me think about the way it all came to be Grandmama watching over me And she said Don't make them wait Gotta go a long way Let's be brave Don't make them wait Nah, don't make them wait Don't make them wait, nah Don't make them wait I hear the ghost whisper And those old eyes watching me But I feel safe I feel safe
