| Kathys Ghost Copyright 2006 Robert A. Gunter I was fourteen years old When I lost my first girlfriend She went out riding with some guys one night Was never found alive again Mom was in the kitchen When she got that fatal call Poor woman spent the rest of her life Waiting for a ghost to come gliding through a wall It was the age of Aquarius In the summer of love Before the suicide messiahs Put bombs on the bus Never found a reason Why the innocent must die Just like my old man years later I never got a chance to say goodbye I went running through the red lands Dancing on the head of pins Climbing walls to high For a God un-graven Voice out in the wilderness Cried, Youve got the mark of Cain Aren't you the one that killed our Lord With your original sin I said, Everywhere Ive been People want the same thing Bellies full and a warm place to sleep Keep it simple, get things done, Live a long life, and dont you hurt no one Shimmy, Shimmy, Coco pop Cookie lend me you comb Just then the Brethren cast me out Said, Boy youve lost your soul After Judas kissed me They locked and barred the door I turned and said, Father forgive them Im not angry anymore So, Im sitting in that kitchen Reading writing on the wall Wondering what our lifes had been like If they had cut her throat They say, that everything that happens Everything comes before Is absolutely necessary For you to be just who you are Dogs in the yard, running hard Round in circles, never got got too far Check it out, take a look for yourself Cause seeing is believing Then therell be no doubt |
