Dory Previn - Aftershock Lyrics

...the telephone rang
my sister calling
i'll go on
fighting
his ghost
don't you know dad
the kid that hates
is
the kid that loves
the most
dad is dead?
when did it happen?
six a.m.
said she
new york time
or california?
did he
ask
for me?

what did you say?
never mind
he died in his sleep

god is kind.
