Ceiling Gazing

Laying in my bed ceiling gazing
 ♪
 Wide awake with jet lag from Australia
 ♪
 Got a stack of mail, a wedding invitation
 ♪
 From a new, young relative, I've never even met
 ♪
 Got me thinking about my Grandpa for some reason
 Met him half a dozen times in the nursing home
 ♪
 Last time I saw him he was in a box
 ♪
 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 I wandered off in the cold
 It's 3: 47 am, June 13th
 ♪
 It's my sister's birthday today, I think
 ♪
 I wanna give her a call, see how she's doing
 ♪
 She had a rough divorce, I hope she's improved
 ♪
 I want to reach out and give her my love
 Put a smile on her face like when we were young
 ♪
 Listening 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 4, one's 7 and I love them so
 I want to live a long time and see them grow
 Outside my window tonight, Sausalito's twinkling lights
 ♪
 My love's beside me deep asleep
 The dog is laying between my feet
 ♪
 Outside my window tonight
 The cargo ships are cruising
 ♪
 And I'm so happy to be alive
 ♪
 To have these people in my life
 Laying in my bed ceiling gazing
 Don't know to 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
