A Song For Our Grandfathers (给祖父的歌) - Future Islands[00:00:00]

Written by：Samuel T. Herring/Gerrit Welmers/William Cashion[00:00:00]

Been a long time in a low place[00:00:51]

Surrounded by what I have made[00:00:57]

Need to get away[00:01:03]

Get away from what relates[00:01:05]

And what was done[00:01:08]

Cuz it's all over now[00:01:11]

Through the woods I come running to loose leaf[00:01:16]

And carve my name[00:01:21]

In the lines there's not a trace[00:01:23]

I hear the ghost whisper and those old eyes watching me[00:01:29]

But I feel safe[00:01:34]

Grandfather looking over me[00:01:36]

He said[00:01:44]

Don't make them wait[00:01:46]

Gotta go a long way[00:01:50]

Let's be brave[00:01:59]

Don't make them wait[00:02:02]

Nah don't make them wait[00:02:05]

I sat down with a coffee on my bent knee[00:02:33]

Looking out at the burnt land looking back at me[00:02:38]

These used to be green crops[00:02:46]

And high on a summer breeze[00:02:48]

No it's fallow fields and clear cut barren weeds[00:02:51]

They said that if I stared[00:02:58]

The abyss would stare back at me[00:03:01]

And so I did[00:03:03]

And I felt it slowly creep in me[00:03:05]

Save for the smoke that danced when I took a drag[00:03:11]

It made me think about the way it all came to be[00:03:17]

Grandma watching over me[00:03:21]

And she said[00:03:26]

Don't make them wait[00:03:29]

Gotta go a long way[00:03:32]

Let's be brave[00:03:42]

Shouldn't them wait[00:03:45]

Nah don't make them wait[00:03:47]

Don't make them wait nah nah nah nah[00:04:01]

Don't make them wait[00:04:07]

I hear the ghost whisper[00:04:15]

And those old eyes watching me[00:04:17]

But I feel safe[00:04:20]

I feel safe[00:04:26]
