Ghostcalling - Rachid

It wasn’t so long ago

That I watched your disappearing act

And I panicked when you didn’t come back

And you didn’t know

That I made my bed upon the floor

While I waited for you at our front door

So confused

So empty and so all alone

Mother said you weren’t coming home

In my gloom

I lit a candle in your room

I sent a message to your spirit

And prayed you hear it

If there’s something that you didn’t know

Something you didn’t know

When I needed you the most

I’d call upon your ghost

It wasn’t so long ago

I became the son of TV dads

They were all the father figures I had

And you didn’t know

It was you there on my TV screen

I imagined you would nver leave

So confusd

My anger was my gift my plight

I learned that a man must always fight

In my gloom

I lit a candle in your room

I sent a message to your spirit

And prayed you hear it

If there’s something that you didn’t know

Something you didn’t know

When I needed you the most

I’d call upon your ghost

This is something that you didn’t know

When I really needed you the most

I was always so alone, so alone

I’d call upon your ghost

So confused

So empty and so all alone

Mother said you weren’t coming home

In my gloom

I lit a candle in your room

I sent a message to your spirit

And prayed you hear it

If there’s something that you didn’t know

Something you didn’t know

When I needed you the most

I’d call upon your ghost
