Lyrics

I saw the shadow of the ghost out in the field
she had short brown hair, not at all like a ghost?s supposed to be
no flowing gown, no tears upon her face
I?m not even sure that she knows she is haunting this place

and in the fall there?s a lot of pumpkins
in the spring there?s a lot of weeds
down in the field

She used to walk through the field everyday before school
she was the kinda girl that was careful ?bout breakin the rules
I used to wonder what her life was like all of the time
cause when I heard her laugh, it sounded exactly like mine

chorus (repeat last line)
guitar lead

I saw the ghost in the field and I think she saw me
what has to happen before I believe what I see

chorus
