Ceiling Gazing (Live)

Laying in my bed, ceiling gazing
 Wide awake with jet-lag from Australia
 Got a stack of mail, and a wedding invitation
 From a new, young relative I never even knew
 Got me thinking about my grandpa for some reason
 Met him half a dozen times in a nursing home
 The last time I saw him, he was in a box
 And 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 we wondered off in the cold.
 It's 3: 47 AM June 13th
 It's my sister's birthday today, I think
 Gonna give her a call, and see how she's doing
 She had a rough divorce, I hope she's improved
 I wanna 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 four, one's seven, and I love them so,
 I wanna live a long time, and see them grow.
 Outside my window tonight
 Sausalito's twinkling lights
 My love's beside me, deep asleep
 Dog is laying between my feet
 Outside my window tonight
 A cargo ship's cruising by
 And I'm so happy to be alive
 To have these people in my life
 Laying in my bed, ceiling gazing
 Can't 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.
