Aunt Clara kept her Bible Right next to the phone in case she needed a quote
While she talked to someone
In my memory she smiles While the blessing is said
And visions of freeze tag dance in my head
She says Iâll grow up bigIf I eat all my roast
Iâll still believe in heaven
But I wonât believe in ghosts anymore
Iâll put away childish things
Every other weekend at the age of thirteen
With my fishing pole and my Field and Stream
Ridinâ back home on the Trailways bus
I looked out the window
âTil I saw too much
And I called my parents by their own first names
I played in the alley
But I didnât play the game anymore
I put away childish things
The wolves howl all night long
They wonât stop and they wonât go home
Beneath my window they run
Probably itâll be alright
If I keep it all locked up tight And wait âtil daylight comes
Now my boy goes like a house on fire
Heâll never burn out and heâll never retire
And I remember when I used to think like that
When I was young and the world was flat
But Iâm forty some years old now and man I donât care
All I want now is just a comfortable chair
And to sell all my stock
And live on the coast
I donât believe in heavenBut I still believe in ghosts.
