Ghost Of His Smile - Sparklehorse

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 alright

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 alright

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 alright

I can’t forget the ghost

I can’t forget the ghost

I can’t forget the ghost

Of his smile
