lyrics

The mother of my mother, breaths a sigh
after 89 years living life

She doesn't need to speak, to speak her mind
That much I've learned in only 25

Still many years
To become peers

If grandma wants to say goodbye
Hasn't she finally earned the right
She says I don't need to be afraid, no
Only of a death too long delayed

Seems so surreal

I don't know how I feel

My first grey hairs have arrived

No true love's yet in sight

She lost her love long before his time

And now she wants to join him in the endless night

So the rules must bend she says
Time to meet and greet the end

Dying of old age

A blessing so many hope awaits
Body becomes cage

A burden, are you ready to face

Dying of old age

A blessing so many hope awaits
Body becomes cage

A burden, are you ready to face

Dying of old age

Old bones broken by, the wait
Body becomes cage,

There is only one one final escape, escape
