Send for me a spirit guide
Send for me a ghost
You became my shadow
When I was driving down the coast
Lit up the stars in the desert
Reveal the bending of the night
I held onto your hand and I got pulled into the light
And I saw you in flannel, drifting taking off
With a pocket full of cedar and your hands so soft
And I knew that you were with me
'Cause I hear you turn and say
That everybody's going to live forever
And no one ever dies anyway
Send for me my lanterns
Send for me my maps
'Cause I lost all my direction
When you got caught in dark, dark traps
And now I'm pushing through buildings
Out to snowy mountain peaks
And I've been carrying your body
With me now for weeks
And I saw you in flannel, drifting taking off
With a pocket full of cedar and your hands so soft
And I knew that you were with me
'Cause I hear you turn and say
That everybody's going to live forever
And no one ever dies anyway
You can't turn this boy around
Getting older, getting down
