about

Inspired by Victor Hugo, growing up, and the changing seasons ...

lyrics

In years gone by
It was warm all the time
There was nothing to do but to be
There's a story that I heard
I recall every word
While I was sitting on my granddad's knee

"Go on, run around
Enjoy what you've found
And may all of your dreams come true
But I want you to know
When the world gets cold
In the end we're only passing through"

So I hopped on down
And I wandered around
And never a coat did I wear
As the summer wore on
I knew Grandpa was wrong
I knew he would always be there

Then came the fall, I wasn't quite so small
And everyone said I'd grown
But there was still room for me on my granddad's knee
And I knew I would always be home

I lived out of doors
I roamed and explored
And for weeks at a time I was gone
There was so much to see
It was waiting for me
And everywhere I went I was home

I returned one day
After so long away
To sit on Grandpa's knee once again
But he'd grown so small
I couldn't fit at all
And I knew that he was nearing his end

Fell the rain, fell the leaves
Fell my tears as I grieved
As I sat beside my Grandpa's bed
I dreamed a great dream,
God fell to his knees
And when I woke, I knew that Grandpa was dead

Since Grandpa died it's been cold all the time
And all that he said came true
I'm lost and alone and this world's not my home
And I know I'm only passing through
