about

A song for my grandpa.

lyrics

I see you crying across this church-room floor
Your Grandma aint sitting where she was two weeks before
The casket line, it grows and grows, too many this month is all I know
Your favourite souls are somewhere else tonight
Death took me back to that gravel Iowa road
Grandpa can’t do the chores kuz his flesh has run cold
Grandma says she’ll never move from the farm, where they raised kids and horses we’ll bury her heart
The boys carry the casket; the others lock their arms tonight

Us Grandkids have been drowning in a world of choice
Our relatives smile at the sounds of our voice
They’ve worked all along, to leave the stage poised
Knowing Iowa won’t wait forever

And We sing the songs we think they’d like to hear
And We say we won’t be defined by what we fear
If we live brave and our courage burns strong
No loss is in vain and no life’s ever gone
With our childhood refrains, The Dead sing along
The Dead will sing us to sleep every night

And We sing the songs we think they’d like to hear
And We say we won’t be defined by what we fear
So boys let’s pick up these pens and guitars
We’ve never found solace in a house or a bar
Come on let’s be men, and follow through these plans
Kuz folks living and dead have shown faith in all that we are
