I'm awake the days Your father's finally back He calls me in and lighted cigarettes Someone's on the phone We never miss a call Somewhere down the road you turned 17 Standing in the darkness Shaking out the cold Someone's got you hiding I'll still search down every road Washing all the linens Hoping you'll be back soon again Covered up for good I'm sleeping on the floor He tells me we've got work before I'm free I don't have to clean My room is twice the size I finally see the mountains when I want Dancing in the darkness, soaking in the sun I don't mind you searching, I've got places I can run Thinking 'bout the future, hoping I can stay here for now I don't think you'd want me anymore I'm afraid I'm just a ghost That never walked those wooden floors Right here I'm fine Dancing in the darkness, soaking in the sun I don't mind you searching, I've got places I can run Thinking 'bout the future, hoping I can stay here for good Washing all the linens Hoping you'll be back soon again
