Eric Helmkamp - Long Gone Leaving Lyrics

There's a ghost in the poplars, and the dead grass is singing
Autumn leaves tremble in a world that's lost and dreaming
Alone in the shadows, the last star revealing
She's long, she's long gone leaving

Thoughts I keep missing, they are more than the memory
And the lights on the mountain the ain't shining like they should be
Put a curse on this hollow, while the devil's still dealing
Cause she's long, she's long gone leaving

For the ashes and embers, there will be no returning
Each place that I come from I run from all my bridges burning

There's a ghost in the poplars, and the dead grass is singing
Autumn leaves tremble in a world lost and dreaming
Alone in the shadow of the last star revealing
She's long, she's long gone leaving
