A stone facade faces the tennis courts
In the upper window, on the side of the dorm
Was my dad's room in college, which sunset brings to life
You can see his ghost
Setting firecrackers off at night
Like bottle rockets
The ones he launched decades ago
Reappear each day
In the afterglow
I am resting at the entrance to the stadium
And here to spectate a specter whom I love
Those dimples must deepen as the radiance careens
Because his smile sparkles
All the way across the street
Like bottle rockets
The ones he launched decades ago
Reappear each day
Like bottle rockets
Like bottle rockets
Like bottle rockets
The ones he launched decades ago
The ones he launched decades ago
Like bottle rockets
The ones he launched decades ago
Reappear each day
In the afterglow
In the afterglow
