Lyrics

[01:13.68] Laying in my bed ceiling gazing
[01:24.23] Wide awake with jet lag from Australia
[01:34.72] Got a stack of mail, a wedding invitation
[01:45.09] From a new, young relative, I’ve never even met
[01:55.61] Got me thinking about my Grandpa for some reason
[02:06.19] Met him half a dozen times in the nursing home
[02:16.64] Last time I saw him he was in a box
[02:27.30] They were lowering him into the ground
[02:38.10] St. Mary’s Church stood so high
[02:48.86] It was the first and the last time I saw my Dad cry
[03:04.50] The ground had a thin coat of snow
[03:15.59] And I wandered off in the cold
[03:20.72] It’s 3: 47 am, June 13th
[03:31.28] It’s my sister’s birthday today, I think
[03:41.93] I wanna give her a call, see how she’s doing
[03:52.24] She had a rough divorce, I hope she’s improved
[04:03.28] I want to reach out and give her my love
[04:13.63] Put a smile on her face like when we were young
[04:24.65] Listening to records from the library
[04:34.89]
[04:45.44] She lives with her daughters all alone
[04:56.29] Across the street from a cornfield in Ohio
[05:12.14] One's 4, one's 7 and I love them so
[05:22.47] I want to live a long time and see them grow
[05:29.56] Outside my window tonight, Sausalito’s twinkling lights
[05:50.53] My love’s beside me deep asleep
[06:01.41] The dog is laying between my feet
[06:11.99] Outside my window tonight
[06:22.88] The cargo ships are cruising
[06:33.38] And I’m so happy to be alive
[06:43.97] To have these people in my life
[07:16.21] Laying in my bed ceiling gazing
[07:26.59] Can't make my mind stop from racing
[07:37.17] It’s not good or bad, it’s just how God made me
[07:47.98] To lay awake at night ceiling gazing
