[00:00:00] A Song For Our Grandfathers (给祖父的歌) - Future Islands

[00:00:00] Written by：Samuel T. Herring/Gerrit Welmers/William Cashion

[00:00:51] Been a long time in a low place

[00:00:57] Surrounded by what I have made

[00:01:03] Need to get away

[00:01:05] Get away from what relates

[00:01:08] And what was done

[00:01:11] Cuz it's all over now

[00:01:16] Through the woods I come running to loose leaf

[00:01:21] And carve my name

[00:01:23] In the lines there's not a trace

[00:01:29] I hear the ghost whisper and those old eyes watching me

[00:01:34] But I feel safe

[00:01:36] Grandfather looking over me

[00:01:44] He said

[00:01:46] Don't make them wait

[00:01:50] Gotta go a long way

[00:01:59] Let's be brave

[00:02:02] Don't make them wait

[00:02:05] Nah don't make them wait

[00:02:33] I sat down with a coffee on my bent knee

[00:02:38] Looking out at the burnt land looking back at me

[00:02:46] These used to be green crops

[00:02:48] And high on a summer breeze

[00:02:51] No it's fallow fields and clear cut barren weeds

[00:02:58] They said that if I stared

[00:03:01] The abyss would stare back at me

[00:03:03] And so I did

[00:03:05] And I felt it slowly creep in me

[00:03:11] Save for the smoke that danced when I took a drag

[00:03:17] It made me think about the way it all came to be

[00:03:21] Grandma watching over me

[00:03:26] And she said

[00:03:29] Don't make them wait

[00:03:32] Gotta go a long way

[00:03:42] Let's be brave

[00:03:45] Shouldn't them wait

[00:03:47] Nah don't make them wait

[00:04:01] Don't make them wait nah nah nah nah

[00:04:07] Don't make them wait

[00:04:15] I hear the ghost whisper

[00:04:17] And those old eyes watching me

[00:04:20] But I feel safe

[00:04:26] I feel safe
