The Ghost in My Car
The Ghost in my Car
I sometimes find my Dad sitting next to me in my car
Not exactly him but some likeness, a ghost from afar.
I can’t exactly see him clear
But either way it’s nice to have him near
I’ll tell him stuff about my life
And he nods and makes positive sounds

I glance...

We had our time together, good and bad
And many differences, we had
After all, you were a man who got an apple and an orange for Christmas
And I was a lad who began the biggest record collection in th...
