Lumberjack - Good Lovelies

My grandfather

The lumberjack

Who’s cutting trees

Calls the day

He whistles

To bring the horses home

My grandmother

Whispers a prayer

For garden full

Tended with care

She wishes

For nothing more

This is why I’ll go on (go on)

Waiting (waiting)

For simple times to come

That is why I’ll go home (go home)

Believing

That nothing can go wrong

My mother dear

Creases her brow

Another day

Thinkin' about

Her sister

Who’s now one year gone

My father shuffles

Quietly

From room to room

So helpless

He writes a song

To fill the emptiness

This is why I’ll go on (go on)

Waiting (waiting)

For simple times to come

That is why I’ll go home (go home)

Believing

That nothing can go wrong

La da-da-da-da da da

Dadada da da-da-da-da

Da-da daa-dah

La da-da-da-da da da

Dadada da da-da-da-da

Da-da daa-dah

When I come home

Late at night

Tuck into bed

Turn out the light

Your heart is armed

And ready to console

I’ll talk time

Spent idly by

Wrapped up in arms

So strong and proud

Who thought of loss

Or lines of growing old

This is why I’ll go on (go on)

Waiting (waiting)

For simple times to come

That is why I’ll go home (go home)

Believing

That nothing can go wrong

My grandfather

The lumberjack

Who’s cutting trees

Calls the day

He whistles

To bring the horses home
