Grandma's House

Last night she was in my dream Walking together in the gold and green Drinking cool water from the mountain spring Where I spent every summer 'til I was thirteen She used to rock me on her knees Tell me stories of kings and queens I'd climb high in the cherry tree The smell of fresh bread rising on the breeze And even though she's gone The flowers live on At my grandma's house And even though she's gone The flowers live on At my grandma's house When my dad met my mom He bought her home, made her his bride My mom and my grandma never got along They both had way too much pride My dad gave the place away When I was twenty-seven It's now a church where people pray I wonder if my grandma hears them up in heaven And even though she's gone The flowers live on At my grandma's house And even though she's gone The flowers live on At my grandma's house The last I saw her Before I left home We were in the garden together Planting a rose And even though she's gone The flowers live on At my grandma's house And even though she's gone The flowers live on At my grandma's house
