Ron Sexsmith

Michael And His Dad

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 others 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
