The Earth and the Eagle - 10 Grandfather

We left you safely underground
Hard earth to protect you
Don't expect to see you 'round

They say your spirit's met the light
Yet they still expect someday
To see your body rise
But I saw that hardwood
I'll bet it's dark inside
Guess I'll have to choose between
The beauty and the lies

The promises of someday coming years
Don't help to understand
Just save children from their tears

She says she's found her peace of mind
It's like I haven't seen her
In quite some time

And I know she loved you well
But you know she loved to love
To lose herself

She says she don't know what she'd do
If she ever lost me
That makes me wonder too

It's not from sadness if I cry
It's just my heart has too much feeling
To hold it all inside
