The Autobiographical Grandpa Lyrics

I take a walk I mow the grass I don't worry 'bout the years that pass My wife is dead I live alone in my little country home I have my memories and dogs for friends

I water the ferns I plant some seeds I make sure to pull out all the weeds And to help myself along I like to whistle this funny little song I sang in my army days when I was young

A hot air balloon I will float away At times I'm holding you [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/the-autobiographical-grandpa-lyrics-of-montreal.html ]

My kids and grandkids come to stay with me once a year And on New Years I drive down to be with them Though I'm happy often I feel lonely When I sleep, I hear my wife speak

"Don't feel alone because you're not really alone Sweetheart no don't think you're alone"

I feed the cat I sweep the floor I don't fear dying anymore I like to fish with Ed and Will in the pond by the old paper mill I am resigned to finish off my days this way
