Testo di Ceiling Gazing

Layin' 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 of Got me thinkin' 'bout 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 wandered 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, see how she's doin' She had a rough divorce, I hope she's improvin' I want to reach out and give her my love Put a smile on her face like when we were young Listenin' 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 So I wanna live a long time and see them grow Outside my window tonight Sausalito's twinklin' lights My love's beside me, deep asleep Her dog is layin' between my feet Outside my window tonight The cargo ships are cruising by And I'm so happy to be alive To have these people in my life Layin' 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
