Grandmother Waits For You

(album: In The Air - 2000)

Grandmother waits for you with a pair of new shoes
In a land where the leaves never brown
The hills are scattered with empty wheelchairs
And hearing aides thrown to the ground

The long night is over, the shadow has passed
And farewells forever are done
No more fear, no more cold, earth and sky painted gold
In the land where we'll never grow old

Never grow old, where we'll never grow old
In the land where we'll never grow old

The peacock and snake, the wolf and the lamb
All creatures find peace in time
These perfect white shores are littered with jewels
Falling like rain from the sky

Mother and baby walk into the waves
No longer fearing the tides
No more fear, no more cold, earth and sky painted gold
In the land where we'll never grow old

Never grow old, where we'll never grow old
In the land where we'll never grow old
