A loving, big-hug, kiss-showering grand dad
He had been just there as long as I know
Like a pillar, How I wish time had moved slow!
Taken him for granted, how I wish I knew!
He spoke of the world and everything sense
Then I honestly believed it was utter nonsense
that kept me from dressing up my pretty dolls.
How I wish I remembered our private strolls!
He smelled of tobacco and spoke too hushed
Made me run long errands, ah, how he rushed!
My eyes were too picky, saw only the thorns
Now that I think of him, my rusted heart burns.
Sitting there all day humming in his old chair
Of heavy melodies of hurtin' love and despair
I wish I had understood how much he missed me
Those days when I bolted away wantin' to be free.
As I sing of him today in grave horrible tones
I wish he could hear it all from beneath the stones.
