About my grandad who passed away 9 years ago.


Bear the semblance of angel
and the heart of the devil.
Don't be speak of the devil, give the devil his due.

If I only could stop time
I'd stay forever where I see your face.
Somewhere in lifetime
I recall familiar buzz cut and your hair so grey.

The time's counting down now.
The time's counting down now.
You're just far, you're just somewhere far away.
Once in a lifetime.
Once in a lifetime.
You finally couldn't stay.

Wouldn't let this happen, if you ever told me how.
If you'd ever tell me I'd never known if I could.
If I ever could stop time.
I'd stay forever little in your arms.
Never in lifetime.
I've been this closer to the distant stars.

The longest car rides down the town.
Your favorite band you're turning down so I i could talk about school.
You listened when I complained about my gowns.
We used to watch late TV shows.
I'd tell you things that no one knows,
you made me laugh till my face glows
I had to stop and turn back
I had to make it about you.
Ask you how you made it through,
how did you change, but still stay the same?
As I hear your steps outside and then you're calling my name
as you come home at six PM
with a lot of dreams, but you ask about me.
But it's not about me.

You're gone, but you're still here
You're gone, but you're still here
I still call, I'm still calling your phone.
The time's counting down now,
somewhere in the lifetime
you're coming home.

And I just couldn't stop time.
And I believe you don't think I'm to blame.
Once in a lifetime
I heard you're coming home at 6 PM
I couldn't turn back time
and you're still there at 6 PM
In the other life
you're home at 6 PM
