Time, Ceschi - Nona lyrics
[Time, Ceschi - Nona lyrics]
I don't know just where you've gone
But hope you're somewhere waiting for me
I hide my face with these black
Sunglasses, where’d you go grandma
Where’d you go grandma?
Ain’t been long but it feels so long
Feeling so selfish gotta be strong
Sad you’re gone so I wrote this song
I hope everyone will sing along
We hid from you when we were kids
Thought we were spies under the bridge
Jumping out cabinets we would scare you
Now every memory is an heirloom
Used to help you make potato salad
Singing church songs like power ballads
You never had a nemesis
You raised my dad you’re my genesis
I can still smell the Denver mist
Damn it feel good to reminisce
I’m so grateful for what you gave me
It was love and it helped make me
Coffee and vanilla cake
That’s how we would celebrate
You taught me forgiveness back when
I was filled with hate everything’s music
The world’s a canvas you said stay inspired
So I’m trying to play the notes of
The birds on the electric wires
Time travel with my memories
Teleport me to serenity
Long island iced tea
That was grandma’s remedy
She never met an enemy
A friend to her was a friend to me
I remember at the diner
She’d give me quarters for centipede
We used to run through the desert
Digging for turquoise treasure
You wanted to make a necklace
From a thunderbird’s feather
We used to play gin rummy
We used to place spite and malice
We’d play until our hands were calloused
Sipping Sprite from a chalice
Death is not an ending
It’s just a new beginning
I know you’re with our
Ancestors in eternity swimming
Life’s not short it’s infinite you get
Back what you put into it
I've never been to heaven but thanks for
Showing me a glimpse of it
I don't know just where you've gone
But hope you're somewhere waiting for me
And I don’t need a time
Machine to remember watching Jordan
While playing Break on Through To The
Other Side on your organ
We used to pick grapefruit's from the tree
Lemon and oranges all of them enormous
Arizona sunset, sky like a peach
Each cloud’s a fortress
Every street lights a falling star
I’m making a wish on them all
You used to drive around town in
A teal green 55 Chevy car i'm on the farm
My eyes are like fireworks and fireflies
Running through Kansas
In the land of truth is where the liar dies
Memories are grapes
I’m making wine in my mind’s cellar
I know I’ll see you again
No need for a fortune teller
This is a time capsule, bury the song
Bury the journal we spread your ashes in the
Garden, life is life, your life is eternal
When you left I could taste
The Jasmine on your breath
We’re not really flesh
That’s why I don’t fear death
Life’s not short it’s infinite you get
Back what you put into it
I've never been to heaven but thanks for
Showing me a glimpse of it
I don't know just where you've gone
But hope you're somewhere waiting for me
But hope you're somewhere waiting for me
I hide my face with these black
Sunglasses, where’d you go grandma
Where’d you go grandma?
Ain’t been long but it feels so long
Feeling so selfish gotta be strong
Sad you’re gone so I wrote this song
I hope everyone will sing along
