letra de my grandmother's love letters - laura osnes
i went up to my attic
to put away your letters
in a grey metal box, with two broken locks
next to an old birdcage
when i went to put your letters inside
i found another package
covered with dust, and smelling of must
that came from another age
[chorus]
my grandmother’s love letters
held in her trembling hand
when she was 17
they were a world to her
they were her youth
they made her whisper low
77 yеars ago
my grandmother’s love lettеrs
so firmly in her grasp
she’d read each line and gasp
that meant she breathed the air of long ago
i loved her so
some things, you never know
what makes the tide come in
or the little flower grow?
how father time decides he’ll come for one of us
some things, you never know
what makes the eagle fly
and the southern wind blow?
these things, they come, they go
like portents, omens, dreams
you never know
my grandmother’s love letters
when she was 17
think what they had to mean
they were a world to her
they were her youth
she tied them with a bow
77 years ago
my grandmother’s love letters
so firmly in her grasp
she’d read one line and gasp
and i’m the air she breathed the air so long ago
i miss her so
some things, you never know
what makes the tide come in
or the little flower grow?
how father time decides he’ll come for one of us
some things, you never know
what makes the eagle fly
and the southern wind blow?
these things, they come, they go
like portents, omens, dreams
you never know
