lyrics

my great-grandfather was an orphan
he was raised on kicks and spit
from one farm to the next in canada
he worked up and down on the st. lawrence river
and went to gardner massachusetts and that’s where he met delina
it was likely he couldn’t read or write
and he worked his life in the chair factories there
delina was the pretty landlord’s daughter
and they raised their family right,
and they were right with god
so it goes

but time won’t crawl back on his knees to your door
he just rolls up his sleeves

theresa left home when she was 17
she was never seen by me
she finally settled down in arizona
in a desert that is dry as old bones that ache and moan
on a winter day she finally laid her burden down
when her crazy neighbor came around
and he was found
wandering the streets covered in blood mumbling
‘bout how he’d done something bad
and she’d been stabbed

my old man he’s fighting cancer now
and it wears you down and it’s lonely
and no one knows
what it’s like when your insides die
and your body turns on you
and your mind lets go
no one knows
still he goes on just like the st. lawrence river
and gardner massachusetts and dry dry deserts you know,
they just go and go
