Ghost of My Father

I see it a lot
Other people have got this long train of time they can ride
Fathers and sons who could live through a good fight or two
But me, I was only a kid
In the club when his hand disappeared
And I didn't know what I should do
So the man that he was
Was who I started trying to be

From that moment on
The ghost of my father on my shoulder since some thirteen years old
And I, I don't remember a day I was ever alone
It's been good, it's been bad
But it's all that I had
And it's hard to let go
But it's time...
Yeah, I know

How many songs have I followed along
This keyboard that he never heard
He might be proud of who I am now
I don't know
But like any melody sticks in your mind as you're walking around
He's somewhere in each note I play
I wonder sometimes if he likes what I have to say

In each word I write
The ghost of my father on my shoulder since some thirteen years old
And I, I don't remember a day I was ever alone
It's been happy and sad
And sometimes I get mad he's gone
But I just let it go
Cause it's time...
Yeah, I know

Wherever you are and whoever you are
Maybe this is the best i can give
Hold everyday like that day's the last you're gonna live

Remember me
And the ghost of my father on my shoulder...
The ghost of my father...

Everyday I get older, a deep part of me can't help believing he'll be wherever I go
No goodbyes...
Yeah, I know
