about

from Everything That Isn't Magic (2009)

lyrics

grandpa was a real man
brave and proud and strong
he lived his life with vigor
and life for him was long
today he lay alone
far from his old place
waiting for his time
deep lines on his face

as the sun sets, some get lost
the leafy parts are wilting, and the barky parts are soft
as the sun sets, some get lost
doo-doo-doo-da-doo-doo-doo

alone he slept
no one by his side
can we not remind him
that grandmother had died?

when we wilt, we wilt alone
the leaf is to a stick, as our skin is to a bone
when we wilt, we wilt alone
doo-doo-doo-da-doo-doo-doo
