A Celebration Upon Completion - Bright Eyes[00:00:00]
My grandfather's name was moon[00:00:37]
Because his eyes were bright and round[00:00:40]
And no amount of time or liquor could dull them[00:00:45]
My grandmother's name was joy[00:00:52]
Because it spilled out of her heart[00:00:56]
And bathed her precious children in its warmth[00:01:01]
And there was happiness in life beyond the sorrow[00:01:08]
And the pain[00:01:14]
But how they ever found it I cannot explain[00:01:17]
I guess time has a way of making everything alright[00:01:24]
It's just there is not enough of it[00:01:32]
And so we drink and we sing and we celebrate[00:01:40]
This lie and hope that it will last[00:01:47]
Morning is here night has passed[00:01:57]
My grandfather was a doctor[00:02:16]
He cured the sick with his kind hands[00:02:20]
And he taught me how to sail and how to find dry land[00:02:25]
My grandmother was all sweetness[00:02:32]
And when she spoke we all heard bells and[00:02:36]
They rang in such a way that we were comforted[00:02:41]
And they held on to each other with all the strength they had[00:02:48]
And they loved with devotion beyond what I understand[00:02:56]
But I guess fear has a way of making sleep unbearable[00:03:04]
And the days seem cold and long[00:03:12]
But we cry and we dance[00:03:20]
And we stumble into love and awkward perfect grace[00:03:24]
The moon is gone and the sun has took its place The moon is gone and the sun has took its place[00:03:42]
