Lyrics
DEAR GRANDFATHER
WE?RE PASSIN? BY YOUR HOUSE BUT YOUR GONE
YOU DON?T LIVE THERE NO MORE YOU?VE MOVED ON
THE PLUMBING AND THE PUMP THEY WORE OUT
IF YOU WERE THERE TODAY
I?D COME BY, SAY HI, HAVE A SIT, AND THEN WE?D GO OUTSIDE
SING A SONG, HAVE A LAUGH, SHARE A DRINK, MAYBE SLEEP A BIT
I MISS YOU SO MUCH SINCE YOU LEFT HERE
I?D LOVE TO HUG YOU AND TO HEAR YOUR VOICE
YES I?VE KNOWN FOR YEARS THIS WOULD BE
IF YOU WERE HERE TODAY
I?D LOVE TO SEE YOUR BLUE EYES ON LAWRENCE STREET
YOUR WOOD SHOP, THE CUCKOO CLOCK
?AND SO THAT?S THE STORY OF MY LIFE?
ARE YOU WITH YOUR WIFE MAYBE THIS STILL NIGHT?
IN THE TREES AND WOOD I?D LOVE TO IF I COULD
WITH THE WINGED FRIENDS WHAT WAS THAT SONG YOU SING
ALL THE ANCIENT SOUNDS- SO NICE TO HAVE YOU ?ROUND
WE?RE PASSIN? BY YOUR HOUSE BUT YOUR GONE
YOU DON?T LIVE THERE NO MORE YOU?VE MOVED ON
I SAW HOW TIRED YOU WERE JUST LIVING
I WANT TO SING THIS SONG
TO YOUR LOVE, YOU ARE LOVED, YOU ARE MISSED, WE WERE BLESSED
WITH YOU HERE FOR 94. SO LONG
DEAR GRANDFATHER
