lyrics

When my grandfather was still around
I sat next to him as the grown-ups spoke late into the night

Falling asleep while he was still around
I put my head to his chest
I can still remember his booming voice in my ears
He fought a war or II
I think he had a tattoo

But what I hate the most is that I can’t remember
The last thing he heard me say

When my grandfather was in the ground
I held the letters he saved as the grown-ups spoke late into day

Falling asleep while he was not around
I put my chin to my chest
I can still remember the cedar dust, in the air
He fought a war or two
He never had a tattoo
But what I hate the most is that I can’t
remember the last thing I heard him say

I wish I took the time
So many things I wonder
He worked the railway line
and was a train conductor

We went to Snider’s bend
Mary-Kay in the camper
And now your heart won’t mend
He was a carpenter,
He was a carpenter,
He was a carpenter
