Tommy

(앨범: Motherwell - 2020)

Strong as an ox, he was tough as a bull
He had stories and poems and dirty jokes

I came in running with my brother in tow
We had dirt on our knees, climbing on his feet to show him

He hardly spoke and he cheated at poker
If someone got angry, he'd crack a joke

Didn't always go over, but the kids would laugh
Then he'd play in the corner 'till he closed the gap

Oh Tommy I love that one
You used to sing it when you were young
Play it again, my love
For the kids to remember when they grow up

I miss my grandfather, the way that we were
Singing out of time, cause he never finishes words

A house full of instruments, now safely with his kids
And his music in my bones and in my body when I was built

Oh Tommy I love that one
You used to sing it when you were young
Play it again, my love
For the kids to remember when they grow up

Tommy I love that one
You used to sing it when you were young
Play it again, my love
For the kids to remember us
