Grandmother’s Song – Rex Goudie

Memories come my way
Thought of the early days
The first song that I ever heard
With the child’s eyes to see
Sweet simplicity
Stay with me all through the years

Sometimes in my sleep
The echo of the deep
Drums on a dark island shore
Where the piper calls a tune
And the wild roses bloom
On the hills far away from the war

How I wish that I could fly
Back to days gone by
Just like a bird on the wing
The wind across the sea
Brings it home to me
A song that my grandmother used to sing
A song that my grandmother used to sing

Now it’s been many years
Since that tune has passed my ears
But it’s here in my heart just the same
With my child’s eyes I see
The love she had for me
And I’ll sing the same song for him

How I wish that I could fly
Back to days gone by
Just like a bird on the wing
The wind across the sea
Brings it home to me
A song that my grandmother used to sing
A song that my grandmother used to sing
