For Grandpa

lyrics

if you don't move
it only hurts a bit
somewhere between
hubris and innocence
it's kind of a shame
we even have to lie

dove in the hand
wolf at your feet
to tremble and cy
Bleed until blind

on the fringes of terror, hope shines
on the fringes of terror, hope shines

as Oakland remains on fire
and Assisi will bleed
like a dancer with bruised knees

my love for you keeps me alive
my love for you keeps me alive

on the fringes of terror, hope shines
on the fringes of terror, hope shines

too fragile to beat
for fear it will break
where are all the lionhearted?

hawks and the sparrows
and the lily of the valley

as Oakland remains on fire
and Assisi will bleed
like a dancer with bruised knees

Grandpa: “Hello, mom! Well, mom, here I am in Chicago having a wonderful time with Roy. Last night Roy went down to my camp to get me, and I went to his. To our surprise, we didn’t find each other! I stayed around town, the eve’ning, and uh, and it was so nice ‘n’ warm, me ‘n’ my other frr-fellow soldiers we walked around town and took in a couple-a movies. Then in the morning I went to church as usual, and then we went to service club. There...from there I took a taxi down to all the way down to Roy’s place. Found him around there running around trying to get in touch with me. Well, it looks like his telephone service is pretty good. Phone me up, and I go walk in--Pretty good! [ laughs]. Then, uh, came back down here to the service club had some breakfast, and uh, it was swell, too. Everybody down here is treat us swell. Wish we’d stay down here longer. But I don’t know how long we’ll stay here, but I.., yeah, I hope we stay here longer! And, uh, well, some of the soldiers here, my friends, are playing ping pong, I went up to the music room and listened to some beautiful classical music. Wish Rosie was here, she could hear a lot of this music.”
