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 all right
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 passes without saying hello
And we thought that he was doing all right
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
Dogs will wag their tails and birds will sing
Hell, it's hard world for little things
And we thought that he was doing all right
I can't forget the ghost
I can't forget the ghost
I can't forget the ghost
Of his smile
