Grandmother Waits For You

Grandmother waits for you with a pair of new shoes

In a land where the leaves never brown

The hills are scattered with empty wheelchairs

And hearing aides thrown to the ground

The long night is over, the shadow has passed

And farewells forever are done

No more fear, no more cold, earth and sky painted gold

In the land where we'll never grow old

Never grow old, where we'll never grow old

In the land where we'll never grow old

The peacock and snake, the wolf and the lamb

All creatures find peace in time

These perfect white shores are littered with jewels

Falling like rain from the sky

Mother and baby walk into the waves

No longer fearing the tides

No more fear, no more cold, earth and sky painted gold

In the land where we'll never grow old

Never grow old, where we'll never grow old

In the land where we'll never grow old
