Grandpa's Curse

A morning at grandma's, he gave me a kiss.

That same day in evening...

I'm sitting there at the piano, not knowing the phone was ringing.

Dad's yelling for me to answer...I pick it up.

Grandma trembling,

I knew something was wrong,

Later finding out grandpa

Was wrong.

 

I remember him on the farm, wearing his hat,

Pulling us on the snowmobile with us behind.

Encouraging us to play piano

And never quit,

That's were I went wrong.

 

I'll never forget,

It's my curse.
