Ghosts

Randy Newman

Stay with me for a little while 
You've nowhere to go 
And I've nowhere to go 
It makes me so happy 

When you smile At me 
Work all your life 
And you end up with nothing 
Live in one room like a bum 

Once I flew in a plane 
And I fought in a war 
We lived in a castle 
And slept on the floor 

And I don't want to be 
All alone anymore I'm sorry 
Out in the street 
There's little colored kids playing 

Where my own little boy used to play 
So I sit in this chair 
And I ache with the gout 
And I talk to myself 

'Cause I'm scared to go out 
And I just want to know 
What was it all about I'm sorry
