gran. - frank watkinson lyrics

[intro]
i called in to see her today at the home where she now stays
i took her a couple of books and some magazines
i put my coat over the chair, i said, “hey gran, it’s me, i’m here
i’m just making sure you got everything you need”

[verse 1]
we sat and talked for a while, you know she’s got the most amazing smile
and i told her about all the things that i’d been up to
well she said it looks like rain and suddenly she seemed to change
and with a distant stare, she asks, “who are you?”
[chorus]
well, it felt like an arrow through the heart, those words, they hit so hard
and it seems to happen a lot more frequently
wish there was something more i could do
to stop what she’s going through
but i can’t, so i just say, “hey gran, it’s me”

[verse 2]
she looked around the room and said, “my grandson’s coming soon
he’s gonna bring some books, he knows i like to read
he might bring his brother ben, it sure would be nice to see them again
together, just us three”

[verse 3]
well we’ve been here before, no point explaining anymore
not with her fading memory, she’s getting worse, of that i’m sure
ben passed way back in ’94 and i have to remind her every time we meet

[verse 4]
and it still comes as a massive blow, she’s fading fast and i don’t know
what it is that i’m supposed to do, i’m looking out now at the rain beating hard on the window pane and again she asks, “who are you?”

[verse 5]
now i’m scared, for in the passage of time
will i start to lose my mind?
will all my memories become a foggy blur?
who knows if that will be so and if it happens, i won’t know
i’ll just be an empty sh*ll like her
[chorus]
well, it felt like an arrow through the heart, these words, they’ll hit so hard
and it seems to happen a lot more frequently
wish there was something more i could do
to stop what she’s going through
but i can’t, so i just say, “hey gran, it’s me”
