[Verse 1]
You were staring from the kitchen at the yard after work
Through the window where the owners pulled the tree from the earth and dirt
Stands piled where the earth was disturbed
You can move it toward the fence to fill the garden bed built last spring
[Verse 2]
Where you never planted anything yet?
Dying flowers in the face on the sill
Still tryna find a pattern in the scatter of leaves
Though you were never really one to have your fortune or a prophecy read
[Chorus]
And Elster stares the desert down
Thirty miles from the center of town
And around in the night falling in like a crown
Do any missing people ever get found?
Do they ever get found?
[Verse 3]
In the back of the shed
And the things that they left, with the tools on the shelf
There's a box full of gloves, and some seeds and a kit
So you took it all out, and you brought us to the yard
And you dig
You were staring from the kitchen at the yard after work

Do any missing people ever get found?
