Grandpa's Piano - Adam Brand[00:00:00]
Grandpa had a piano[00:00:08]
It was built in 1904[00:00:11]
He brought it down from Sydney town[00:00:15]
Before the First World War[00:00:19]
He'd sit down and crack his knuckles[00:00:23]
Put his glasses on his head[00:00:26]
When he'd start to play the cat would run[00:00:31]
And hide behind the bed[00:00:33]
Well his right foot stomped the pedals[00:00:38]
And his left foot stomped the floor[00:00:41]
His wrinkled hands would skip the keys[00:00:44]
That wouldn't play no more[00:00:47]
He'd play onward Christian soldiers[00:00:50]
And the window panes would shake[00:00:53]
When the man of 87 played his old 88[00:00:58]
The piano sat in a corner[00:01:12]
On a sagging hardwood floor[00:01:15]
On top was a frame I made for him[00:01:19]
With a picture of the Lord[00:01:22]
A faded baptist hymnal[00:01:27]
Took it's place above the keys[00:01:30]
We'd take turns sitting by him[00:01:34]
He'd nod we'd turn the page[00:01:37]
Well his right foot stomped the pedals[00:01:42]
And his left foot stomped the floor[00:01:45]
His wrinkled hands would skip the keys[00:01:48]
That wouldn't play no more[00:01:51]
He'd play onward Christian soldiers[00:01:54]
And the window panes would shake[00:01:57]
When the man of 87 played his old 88[00:02:02]
Well the old piano's silent now[00:02:09]
It don't ring with joy no more[00:02:12]
Except sometimes when the cat jumps down[00:02:17]
When there's someone at the door[00:02:20]
I can see him up in heaven[00:02:24]
With a smile upon his face[00:02:27]
When God and all the angels[00:02:32]
Let him lead amazing grace[00:02:35]
Well his right foot stomped the pedals[00:02:40]
And his left foot stomped the floor[00:02:42]
His wrinkled hands would skip the keys[00:02:46]
That wouldn't play no more[00:02:49]
He'd play onward Christian soldiers[00:02:52]
And the window panes would shake[00:02:55]
When the man of 87 played his old 88[00:02:59]
When the man of 87 played his old 88[00:03:07]
