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
