《My Grandfather》歌词

[00:00:01] When I was born my grandfather

[00:00:06] Held me in his warm hands

[00:00:10] And it seems though his eyes are teary

[00:00:14] But it’s hard to tell from an old photograph

[00:00:20] While my brother and sister danced

[00:00:24] At the feet of his tired and weathered frame

[00:00:30] He said there’s a light to this boy I’ve ever seen

[00:00:36] And there he gave me my name

[00:00:41] Well my grandfather was a sniper

[00:00:47] In the Red Army

[00:00:52] He never had any brothers in arms

[00:00:56] From the both side that stood enemy

[00:01:00] Will the cold and unbroken Will due to survive

[00:01:06] His steady hand took care

[00:01:10] And he drank just enough to keep him in a safe form

[00:01:15] For he never spoke his true name

[00:01:30] When I was a boy the summer was at house

[00:01:35] He would take me down to the sea

[00:01:39] And standing on the water edge

[00:01:42] And watch me go crazy

[00:01:44] As the gentle waves rolled in

[00:01:49] Looking back I wonder how it must have felt

[00:01:54] Watching me and running so free

[00:01:58] All the years in his life he wished he could forget

[00:02:03] Did he look at the world through me

[00:02:18] When I was a man I flew across the Ocean

[00:02:22] When I heard he needed care

[00:02:27] I listened as he spoke about his turbulent life

[00:02:32] From his ordinary chair

[00:02:37] And he ended by saying

[00:02:39] „Oh I’ve had enough

[00:02:42] The time has come for me to go

[00:02:46] I have only one wish

[00:02:48] That is left in me

[00:02:51] To be taken peacefully”

[00:03:07] Just before I was due to marry

[00:03:11] I heard he could not walk anymore

[00:03:16] It was then he gave up fight

[00:03:18] I’ve say goodbye

[00:03:21] Almost one year before

[00:03:25] And I’ll never forget something he told me

[00:03:32] He said”it’s a cruel world but you must live without fear”

[00:03:39] Well I sure miss my grandfather

[00:03:43] He’s the reason why I’m here
