In the morning i was comforted
Watching you from bed
Rushing off to catch your bus
And kissing my forehead
While i was busy making plans
You held my life in your hands
Was it so long ago
When there was a family close?
And i have been holding on
All alone, all along
But maybe you're gone
And maybe my family slipped away
Frozen here like mona lisa
With a painted smile
Balls and caps and crayon drawings
Thrown into a pile
They no longer make the bed
All these children in my head
I am a father, sons
And you are the holy ghosts
And this is a lonely road
I've been on, all along
Now maybe you're gone
Maybe my family slipped away
The normal life pa**ed me by
What sort of life do you desire?
Maybe one day
Walking your dog
You'll see me
On the lonely boulevard
You'll stop me
We'll have a drink
To when at 10 you loved me
Time can bring us down
But while i'm still standing up
I swear to you, i vow to you
You got me wrong
And now i'm gone
