Gord Downie - Haunt Them, Haunt Them, Haunt Them lyrics

I think I'm in despair
The wind is in the trees
Basically, just waiting for something to
Come along and eat me

Is this future's gate?
Where my dreams retreat?
And all my memories are
Just memories of memories?

And a-folded in a dream
Pitch-black and glowing blue a raven saying
'I know a way that I can help you'

Oh oh, I stared into his eyes
I saw my pale last days
Said, 'What you can't escape
You gotta embrace'

Ah oh, I know a way to get back
This don't have to end a way to get back
And haunt them, haunt them, haunt them

Then he wished me plain as he flew away
Said I'd see him coming on that pale last day

And he wished me plain ordinary death
Said he'd be back after I escaped it

Oh, I've seen how they are
How they'd all sell their souls
In little bit's and pieces, 'til they get old

They don't make a dent in indifference
We'll haunt them, haunt them, haunt them

But, I want to go back if this is the end
I wanna go back
Not to haunt them, haunt them, haunt them

Not to haunt them, haunt
Not to haunt them, haunt, haunt
Haunt them, haunt them
