A Song For Our Grandfathers (给祖父的歌) - Future Islands

Written by：Samuel T. Herring/Gerrit Welmers/William Cashion

Been a long time in a low place

Surrounded by what I have made

Need to get away

Get away from what relates

And what was done

Cuz it's all over now

Through the woods I come running to loose leaf

And carve my name

In the lines there's not a trace

I hear the ghost whisper and those old eyes watching me

But I feel safe

Grandfather looking over me

He said

Don't make them wait

Gotta go a long way

Let's be brave

Don't make them wait

Nah don't make them wait

I sat down with a coffee on my bent knee

Looking out at the burnt land looking back at me

These used to be green crops

And high on a summer breeze

No it's fallow fields and clear cut barren weeds

They said that if I stared

The abyss would stare back at me

And so I did

And I felt it slowly creep in me

Save for the smoke that danced when I took a drag

It made me think about the way it all came to be

Grandma watching over me

And she said

Don't make them wait

Gotta go a long way

Let's be brave

Shouldn't them wait

Nah don't make them wait

Don't make them wait nah nah nah nah

Don't make them wait

I hear the ghost whisper

And those old eyes watching me

But I feel safe

I feel safe
