Future Islands

Future Islands - A song for our grandfathers songtekst

Je score:

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 
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... 

Grandmama watching over me 
--- 
And she 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 
--- 
Don't make them wait, nah 
Don't make them wait 

I hear the ghost whisper 
And those old eyes watching me 
But I feel safe 
I feel safe
