Bilingual
With the dishes up and the fire burnin
And the smoke from Grandpa's pipe twistin and turnin
She settles in, with the Book again
The gold flake long worn off the pages
King James on the cover, tired and faded
Shakin hands, peel the pages back
And her eyes go deep and wet
And they turn a little red
Grandma never spoke about the message
And Grandpa never was much for religion
But every night, they'd sit there quiet
And their eyes went deep and wet
And they'd turn a little red
I ain't opened Grandma's Bible since she passed
Sits next to Grandpa's pipe on my desk
Grabbed it up last night, found a note inside
It was a picture of a man, and a letter written in a soldier's hand
The letter read, "If I don't make it back
My brother John, he's a good man
Set my Grandma's Bible on the couch
Pulled smoke from Grandpa's pipe and breathed it out
And I wrote this song, about my Grandpa John
And my eyes went deep and wet
And they turned a little red
