Twirl your hair to the fiddle girl go on and lay it out on me Holy ghost of Gloria white sugar white Fall in love all over again find you another joy I'll be there when the angels go and let you out to play The highway's gone with the sunrise and turning black as soot The world ain't ever been the same since you parted from this life Where you are is everywhere I wanna be someday Happy birthday Gloria I wish you were here today It's the sign of the times laying down the roses In the hazy cut morning Ghost of Gloria I've been flying with another bird I've been singing on the roof Like we did those summers now I can't sing for you no more She's everything I'm needing right now she's a painter and a friend What am I supposed to do but die a lonely man It's the sign of the times laying down the roses Would you think of me less Ghost of Gloria Yeah would you think of me less if it were the other way I'm trying my best Happy birthday It's the sign of the times laying down the roses in the hazy cut morning Ghost of Gloria
