about

In loving memory of my grandmother - whom I am named after but never got to meet. Our name means morning star.

lyrics

Grandmother don’t leave before the light comes
Grandmother I have been waiting
Grandmother your body calm and tender
Grandmother couldn’t I just have you for a day

I will always know where to find you
Amongst the stars and under my feet yeah
And when you glow early morning
I hear my name

Grandmother the mama of my papa
Grandmother they say we’re two and one
Grandmother you kissed your living children
Grandmother and sprinkled soil in their palms

I will always know where to find you
Amongst the stars and under my feet yeah
And when you glow early morning
I hear my name

Bite through the wind as the funeral mourners sing
Ring through the sky as they dressed her all in white
Tear through the trees as her sons fell to their knees

Appelez de la terre l'esprit de ma grand-mère

Grandmother in ancient text I read you
Grandmother your pages I will bind
Grandmother you cast into the future
Grandmother but I will always look behind

I will always know where to find you
Amongst the stars and under my feet yeah
And when you glow early morning
I hear my name
