Ghosts

Stay with me for a little while
You've nowhere to go, I've nowhere to go
Makes me so happy when you smile at me
Work all your life, you end up with nothing
Live in one room like a bum
Once I flew in a plane and I fought in the war
I lived in a castle but I slept on the floor
And I don't want to be all alone anymore
I'm sorry
Out in the street, the colored kids playing
Where my own little boy used to play
So I sit in this chair and I ache with the gout
Or I talk to myself cause I'm scared to go out
I just want to know what was it all about?
I'm sorry
