[Lyric] Grandfather 1971 (Dear Mr Time)

[Verse 1]
Grandfather
Lying there
Counting the days of his life
Reliving all of his yesterdays
Through manhood to kites

And well he knows he might

[Verse 2]
Grandfather
Smiling there
Now he knows he was right
Sees faces laughing in his dreams
His friends of the night

[Chorus]
Daylight comes his side
Colours of gold
He leaves the world
His story told
Fold back the pages
Mark the book
Turn out the light

[Verse 3]
Grandfather
Just a memory
Of the man and a time
Of a clock and books handed down to me
Which will never be mine

His for all time
