chases ghosts away

from the album the Vulnerary Songs

try to miss you shortly
must be my lucky day
a week without a lovely fight
best of all the choices

shortly taller than almost never
take a drink and wait for the cries

of all the shrieking voices
this one chases ghosts away
may be shortly’s calling
but I can’t hear it (over the waves)

shortly taller than almost never
slip a nickel in the swearing jar

of all the shrieking voices
this one chases ghosts away
maybe shortly’s calling
but I can’t hear it (over the waves)
