Lyrics Lumberjack - Good Lovelies

Lumberjack

Hm ba ba, hm ba ba
Hm ba ba, hm ba ba
Hm ba ba, hm ba ba
Hm ba ba baa
My grandfather
The lumberjack
Who’s cutting trees
Calls the day
He whistles
To bring the horses home
My grandmother
Whispers a prayer
For garden full
Tended with care
She wishes
For nothing more
This is why I’ll go on (go on)
Waiting (waiting)
For simple times to come
That is why I’ll go home (go home)
Believing
That nothing can go wrong
My mother dear
Creases her brow
Another day
Thinkin' about
Her sister
Who’s now one year gone
My father shuffles
Quietly
From room to room
So helpless
He writes a song
To fill the emptiness
This is why I’ll go on (go on)
Waiting (waiting)
For simple times to come
That is why I’ll go home (go home)
Believing
That nothing can go wrong
La da-da-da-da da da
Dadada da da-da-da-da
Da-da daa-dah
La da-da-da-da da da
Dadada da da-da-da-da
Da-da daa-dah
When I come home
Late at night
Tuck into bed
Turn out the light
Your heart is armed
And ready to console
I’ll talk time
Spent idly by
Wrapped up in arms
So strong and proud
Who thought of loss
Or lines of growing old
This is why I’ll go on (go on)
Waiting (waiting)
For simple times to come
That is why I’ll go home (go home)
Believing
That nothing can go wrong
My grandfather
The lumberjack
Who’s cutting trees
Calls the day
He whistles
To bring the horses home
