lyrics

My baby don't come 'round here anymore
I don't know what I keep on comin' for
I should turn around and walk right out the door
'cause my baby don't come 'round here anymore

She said she didn't want to go out dancing
she didn't want to dance with me at all
so I went out to drink until the morning
but I came home a bit early and I saw...
...I saw my baby lying all sweaty and naked
in the arms of another guy
I tried to scream but only made a whimper
my knees grew weak and I fell back outside
outside into the cruel, cruel winter
the silver moon mocked me with its glow
their sleeping forms softly through the window
and me, crying in the snow

I woke up in a fog that Sunday morning
I stumbled to our room and found them there
embracing still in death just where I left them
each strangled in the other's underwear
I threw them in the trunk and went out driving
I dumped them in the swamp by Dekker's Pond
and I told everybody that my baby went away
that she bought a ticket home to Arkensaw
and that I'd been real since she'd gone
and everyone's believed me for so long
and I promised myself that I'd never again drink 'till dawn

My baby don't come 'round here anymore
I guess that's what I keep on coming for
so I think I'll stay and drink alittle more,
'cause my baby don't come 'round here anymore

about

Proof of Ghosts Toronto, Ontario

I'm riding away, picking up steam, moving along at my own special speed. There in the grass by the tall shady tree, watching life pass in the warm summer breeze. Maybe today the sun will shine down on me and my blues will fly away. So babe take my hand and ramble with me, I aint got no plans and I do as I please. Summer aint long but the summer is sweet and life may be ours for the moment at least ... more
