about

A song about Ste L's Granddad, written as his health deteriorated in the last eighteen months of his life.

lyrics

When I was young my Granddad told me
About his days down in the Nook
In just his shirt and baggy shorts
He’s wait his turn to wear the shoes

He’d wonder why his Mammy died
And all those nights she spent confined
He’d think of how he tried his best
And prayed for better days ahead

In these better days he’ll think of all that’s gone by
All the things he tried to teach his two young sons
And I recognise that he’s alive and I’m so glad he’s here
In these better days he prayed for now they’ve come

When I was young my Father told me
About his days down in the Nook
How much they cried when David died
And worked for better days ahead

In these better days he’ll think of all that’s gone by
All the things he tried to teach his only son
And I recognise that he’s alive and I’m so glad he’s here
In these better days he prayed for now they’ve come

Not alone any more
Not alone any more
Not alone any more
Not alone any more

Now he’s old my Granddad tells me
How proud he is of what he sees
In just a word it means a lifetime
From the Grand Old Man he’s been

In these better days he’ll think of all that’s gone by
All the things he tried to teach his two young sons
And I recognise that he’s alive and I’m so glad he’s here
In these better days he worked for now they’ve come
