David Kirby - The Ghost Beside The Fire

The flat where you once lived no longer standing
The house you raised your children has been torn to the ground
The kids are having trouble comprehending
How to carry on when you are no longer around

But the ghost beside the fire says it's time
The ghost beside the fire says it's time
The ghost beside the fire
Who held the ring of your desire
The ghost beside the fire says it's time

The impressions in your chair don't do you justice
And the thinning silver hair holds memories of a crown
The time you spent on Earth with us can't measure
The esteem with which we hold the Queen of Middlesbrough abounds

But the ghost beside the fire says it's time
The ghost beside the fire says it's time
With the blue around the iris
And the luck of all the Irish
The ghost beside the fire says it's time

And even as you're facing down the dark
On a path we all eventually have to walk
A family in division
Blind with 20/20 vision
The ghost beside the fire calls you home

The ghost beside the fire says it's time
The ghost beside the fire says it's time
After a life of no regrets
It's time to put your head to rest
The ghost beside the fire says it's time

And though we know to you someday
We'll say again
We're Ron our Ray
The ghost beside the fire says it's time
