lyrics

Your grandfather was a famous singer
Travelin' around from town to town
And by the lights he'd follow
The path to the road, to wherever it had led him down

Your grandmother was a famous lady
Fabulous in beauty and in mind
Each night she'd walk around the town, everybody they wanted her life

Away take it away from me

"Loneliness ain't welcome 'round here" Pa'd say.
"Why can't I just be happy?
All the green and gold in this world cannot bring me
To where I want to be."

Pa would come home late at night, you see
Sometimes he'd be away
A dirty suit and a broken harp, filled with disgust
Was all that he had to our names

Your grandma woke early one morning to
A sound that she had not heard in years
It was the man that she'd loved long ago,
Before he had driven her to tears

"I've been gone for too long, you see
My plan was f'ed up beyond belief
The one thing I thought that I needed was always
Right here in front of me".

apart from the typical ukulele and acoustic guitar played by nancy and dan respectively, additional instrumentation includes but not limited to: spoons, percussion, drums, bass, electric guitar, organ, squeeze box, etc. ... more
