The Autobiographical Grandpa — текст песни (Of Montreal)

I take a walk I mow the grass
I don`t worry `bout
the years that pass
My wife is dead I live alone
in my little country home
I have my memories
and dogs for friends

I water the ferns I plant some seeds
I make sure to pull out all the weeds
And to help myself along
I like to whistle this funny little song
I sang in my army days when I was young

A hot air balloon I will float away
At times I`m holding you

My kids and grandkids come
to stay with me once a year
And on New Years I drive down to be with them
Though I`m happy often I feel lonely
But when I speak I hear my wife speak

Don`t feel alone because you`re not really alone
Sweetheart no don`t think you`re alone

I feed the cat I sweep the floor
I don`t fear dying anymore
I like to fish with Ed and Will
in the pond by the old paper mill
I am resigned to finish off my days this way
