Ceiling Gazing - Mark Kozelek

[01:13.68]Laying in my bed ceiling gazing
[01:24.23]Wide awake with jet lag from Australia
[01:34.72]Got a stack of mail, a wedding invitation
[01:45.09]From a new, young relative, I’ve never even met
[01:55.61]Got me thinking about my Grandpa for some reason
[02:06.19]Met him half a dozen times in the nursing home
[02:16.64]Last time I saw him he was in a box
[02:27.30]They were lowering him into the ground
[02:38.10]St. Mary’s Church stood so high
[02:48.86]It was the first and the last time I saw my Dad cry
[03:04.50]The ground had a thin coat of snow
[03:15.59]And I wandered off in the cold
[03:20.72]It’s 3: 47 am, June 13th
[03:31.28]It’s my sister’s birthday today, I think
[03:41.93]I wanna give her a call, see how she’s doing
[03:52.24]She had a rough divorce, I hope she’s improved
[04:03.28]I want to reach out and give her my love
[04:13.63]Put a smile on her face like when we were young
[04:24.65]Listening to records from the library
[04:34.89]
[04:45.44]She lives with her daughters all alone
[04:56.29]Across the street from a cornfield in Ohio
[05:12.14]One's 4, one's 7 and I love them so
[05:22.47]I want to live a long time and see them grow
[05:29.56]Outside my window tonight, Sausalito’s twinkling lights
[05:50.53]My love’s beside me deep asleep
[06:01.41]The dog is laying between my feet
[06:11.99]Outside my window tonight
[06:22.88]The cargo ships are cruising
[06:33.38]And I’m so happy to be alive
[06:43.97]To have these people in my life
[07:16.21]Laying in my bed ceiling gazing
[07:26.59]Can't make my mind stop from racing
[07:37.17]It’s not good or bad, it’s just how God made me
[07:47.98]To lay awake at night ceiling gazing
