Ghost Of His Smile

He don't get out much These days But I wouldn't call him Lazy He sees the dawn sneak Into the room And knows the dogs Will be up soon And we thought that he was doing alright As the sun chased down another night And days careen Like the waters Of a river rushing To the sea Here she comes again Down the staircase She never pa*ses Without saying hello And we thought that he was doing alright And she says hello I can't forget the ghost I can't forget the ghost I can't forget the ghost Of his smile And dogs will wag their tails And birds will sing Hell, it's a hard world For little things And we thought that he was doing alright I can't forget the ghost I can't forget the ghost I can't forget the ghost Of his smile
