Haint Blue

We reached the clearing and sat down

I could see that you'd been crying

And I remember the dream I had

The one of you, you falling through the ice

And I could see your face on the other side

And I'm pounding with my fists

Yeah, I'm holding this photograph

The one of you and me trying not to laugh

And it's a sacred thing

It's a host

I see you and I see myself

You look a little different

Yeah, you're glowing

Like a firefly

Like a vision

Like a ghost

And in the clearing the world came to life

And the walls weaken the world all around

And the haint, he got his paws on my shoulders

He's pinning me to the ground

And he's toying with his prize

With no malice in his eyes

Yeah, I'm holding this photograph

The one of you and me trying not to laugh

And it's a sacred thing

It's a host

I see you and I see myself

You look a little different

Yeah, you're glowing

Like a firefly

Like a vision

Like a ghost

We'll paint the porch robin egg blue

So the haint, he'll just pass on through

Yeah, he'll be thinking the roof is but sky

And he'll just walk on by

We'll paint the porch robin egg blue

No haints or boo hags bothering you

No, your wife, your son, your daughter

'Cause he's thinking that it's— (Water)

Yeah, I'm holding this photograph

The one of you and me trying not to laugh

And it's a sacred thing

It's a host

I see you and I see myself

You look a little different

Yeah, you're glowing

Like a firefly

Like a vision

Yeah, I'm holding this photograph (Holding this photograph)

The one of you and me trying not to laugh

And it's a sacred thing (It's a sacred thing)

It's a host (It's a host)

I see you and I see myself (I see)

You look a little different

Yeah, you're glowing (Yeah, you're glowing)

Like a firefly

Like a vision

Like a ghost
