    Crazy Stupid Love. I was at home with my girls and was flipping through channels and this movie was going off and I heard this song. I reached out to me. I searched for it and found it. The lyrics are touching. I lost my grandmother in 1994. This song just made me think of her and our times together and how I miss her still.

      +tpm017 The last verse always makes me teary
      Grandfather, weary soul, you’ll fly
      Over your life once more before you die
      Since our grandma passed away
      You’ve waited for forever and a day
      Just to die
      And someday soon
      You will die
      It was the only woman you ever loved
      That got burnt by the sun too often when she was young
      And the cancer spread and it ran into her body and her blood
      And there’s nothing you can do about it now

      yeah, that's why i asked about his grandfather too, because of those lyrics. assumedly, when you've lived your life with someone else for like 50-60 years, and they're suddenly gone it really hurts! questions your purpose in life, and no one would blame you for simply waiting to die at that point

    Older brother, restless soul, lie down
    Lie for a while with your ear against the earth
    And you'll hear your sister sleep talking
    Say "Your hair is long but not long enough to reach
    Home to me
    But your beard
    Someday might be"
    And she'll wake up in a cold sweat on the floor
    Next to a family portrait drawn when you were four
    And beside a jar of two cent coins that are no good no more
    She'll lay it aside
    Older father, weary soul, you'll drive
    Back to the home you made on the mountainside
    With that ugly, terrible thing
    Those papers for divorce
    And a lonely ring
    A lonely ring
    Sit on your porch
    And pluck your strings
    And you'll find somebody you can blame
    And you'll follow the creek that runs out into the sea
    And you'll find the peace of the Lord.
    Grandfather, weary soul, you'll fly
    Over your life once more before you die
    Since our grandma passed away
    You've waited for forever and a day
    Just to die
    And someday soon
    You will die
    It was the only woman you ever loved
    That got burnt by the sun too often when she was young
    And the cancer spread and it ran into her body and her blood
    And there's nothing you can do about it now

    This song reminds me so much of my auntie, who passed away from cancer in October. It makes me so happy and sad at the same time; whenever I listen to it, I think of all the good times we had and how much fun we had together, but it also makes me miss her very much. I love this song with all of my heart.
