Ron Sexsmith - Michael and His Dad Lyrics

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
