Laying in my bed ceiling gazingWide awake with jet lag from AustraliaGot a stack of mail, a wedding invitationFrom a new, young relative, I've never even metGot me thinking about my Grandpa for some reasonMet him half a dozen times in the nursing homeLast time I saw him he was in a boxThey were lowering him into the groundSt. Mary's Church stood so highIt was the first and the last time I saw my Dad cryThe ground had a thin coat of snowAnd I wandered off in the coldIt's 3:47 am, June 13thIt's my sister's birthday today, I thinkI wanna give her a call, see how she's doingShe had a rough divorce, I hope she's improvedI want to reach out and give her my lovePut a smile on her face like when we were youngListening to records from the libraryHermit of Mink Hollow and Dreamboat AnnieShe lives with her daughters all aloneSongtexteAcross the street from a cornfield in OhioOne's 4, one's 7 and I love them soI want to live a long time and see them growOutside my window tonight, Sausalito's twinkling lightsMy love's beside me deep asleepThe dog is laying between my feetOutside my window tonightThe cargo ships are cruisingAnd I'm so happy to be aliveTo have these people in my lifeLaying in my bed ceiling gazingDon't know to make my mind stop from racingIt's not good or bad, it's just how God made meTo lay awake at night ceiling gazingTo lay awake night ceiling gazing Aus Songtexte Mania
