I
am
the ghost
of Ammannsville
I lived here once
I live here still
I wander through
the church and hall
Wondering what
became of all
The folks who used
to be my friends
Who loved to sing and dance
but then
The world came knocking
on the door
and changed our lives
forevermore
It was alluring
changed our ways
Made folks want to
move away
It was our time
it was our place
Too soon it passed
too slow the pace
So now I haunt
what bits are saved
The church, the cross,
these hallowed graves
You feel my touch
in evening's breeze
You hear me beckon
through the trees
I am the end
of what once was
My lonely call is all
because
I am the ghost
of Ammannsville
I loved this place
I love it still.
