Cover art for Ghosts lyrics by Mountain Goats, The

This song makes me think about coming home after war(5years in Sweden). Everything is how the character remembers it(I knew it all like the back of my hand). Though the landscape hasn't changed, other things have(5 years is a long time). The character has lost a partner(I know what is and isn't mine, 5 years in Sweden dying for you) and feels good having come home(good to get back to the sunshine) but s/he feels like a ghost there(It made me wish I was dead).
