Michael And His Dad Lyrics - Long Player Late Bloomer - Ron Sexsmith

Michael and his dad 

Sitting at a table in the corner 

Reading the want ads 

Sprawled across the table in the corner 

And there is no time to play 

All the signs seem to say 

It takes much more than love 

It takes much more than love 

Michael and his dad 

Live in an apartment in the basement 

Sitting by the rad 

In this cold and damp apartment in the basement 

Where the sun does not come through 

And all the bills are overdue 

It takes much more than love 

It takes much more than love 

When making do 

Mother's gone away 

To the land of safe keeping 

Michael walking from the grave 

Says, "Dad, she's only sleeping" 

Michael and his dad 

Sitting on a bench beside the playground 

They take each other's hand 

And head towards the sandbox in the playground 

And there a castle's made for two 

The sun is high, the sky is blue 

It takes much more than love 

It takes much more than love 

It takes two 

It takes much more than love 

It takes much more than love 

It takes two 

Michael and his dad 

Michael and his dad 

Michael and his dad
