I think I liked this song better when I didn't know that the line, "Who's the Holy Ghost" was a question - I thought it was "I'm your son, who's the Holy Ghost." Like, he's a ghost to his father, he's practically not even there. But the song's still beautiful, and woefully underappreciated.
I think the song is about the son going off to college. Naturally, as a teenager, he probably distanced himself from his parents (including his dad) as much as possible, and now that he's beginning to mature enough to think about what he may have been missing, it's time to move away and become an adult.
