Sparklehorse - Ghost of His Smile lyrics

rate me

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 careen

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.

And dogs will wag their tails,

and birds will sing.

Hell, it's a 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.
