Ghost Of His Smile

(album: Good Morning Spider - 1998)

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 carreen
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
