Lyrics
Grandma's song (Joyce Davis 1981)
Stealing back the stories that the time took from her years
Her eyes played moonlight pantomime - Her voice dripped ageless tears
A treasury of forgotten tales - slipped from her traveled tongue
And sad iron sounds remembered games she played when she was young
And I said - grandma tell me just one more
Cause mama says you don't got very long
Grandma tell me just one more right now
Mama says you?re running out of time
She looked at me and said one day - Ya know I've never cried
then she laughed a bit and cocked her head and told me that she lied
She told me ?bout the time he walked from boston to Tennessee
And how her shoes just walked away when she took 'em off her feets
And I say... Grandma...
One day my ma said, grandma's gone and I knew she meant she died
And at the wake I held on inside - cause she said she never cried
Mama said I couldn?t understand - cause I was just a kid
So I asked her to explain it to me before the shut the lid
And I said... Grandma...
