If You See Me

If you see me all alone
 Well, will you just mind your own
 I am trying to walk on home
 I need to rest my bones
 And I wanna be alone
 
 And don't tell me to stay still
 Don't you know I never will
 I'll keep on moving 'til
 All my spirit has been killed
 So don't tell me to stay still
 I'll tell you all my fears
 
 If you promise to be near
 You can have my heart, my dear
 But I'll cry for a thousand years
 If I tell you all my fears
 I can see all of it too
 
 The ghosts that circle me and you
 In the drawings that I drew
 All the ghosts, some old, some new
 I can see all of them, too
 
 And don't holler at me, man
 And don't try to hold my hand
 I didn't think you'd understand
 But I'm happy as I am
 So don't holler at me man
 People think I turned out right
 But they don't hear me in the night
 I worry if the sun don't shine
 Then I'll be crying all the time
 People think I turned out right
 And when I see those golden rays
 I know I'm in for better days
 Like the birds fly from the bay
 I will free my mournful ways
 When I see those golden rays
