Ceiling Gazing |
| Laying in my bed, ceiling gazing |
| Wide awake with jet-lag from Australia |
| Got a stack of mail, and a wedding invitation |
| From a new, young relative I never even knew |
| Got me thinking about my grandpa for some reason |
| Met him half a dozen times in a nursing home |
| The last time I saw him, he was in a box |
| And they were lowering him into the ground |
| St. Mary’s Church stood so high |
| It was the first and the last time I saw my dad cry |
| The ground had a thin coat of snow, |
| And we wondered off in the cold. |
| It’s 3: 47 AM June 13th |
| It’s my sister’s birthday today, I think |
| Gonna give her a call, and see how she’s doing |
| She had a rough divorce, I hope she’s improved |
| I wanna reach out, and give her my love |
| Put a smile on her face, like when we were young |
| Listening to records from the library |
| Hermit of Mink Hollow and Dreamboat Annie |
| She lives with her daughters, all alone |
| Across the street from a cornfield in Ohio |
| One’s four, one’s seven, and I love them so, |
| I wanna live a long time, and see them grow. |
| Outside my window tonight |
| Sausalito’s twinkling lights |
| My love’s beside me, deep asleep |
| Dog is laying between my feet |
| Outside my window tonight |
| A cargo ship’s cruising by |
| And I’m so happy to be alive |
| To have these people in my life |
| Laying in my bed, ceiling gazing |
| Can’t make my mind stop from racing |
| It’s not good or bad, it’s just how god made me |
| To lay awake at night, ceiling gazing. |
