about

A lament for the death of my grandmother Lucile, featuring Jamie Masefield on mandolin and Henry Romp on bass.

lyrics

You were here at the turn of the year
Watched your great-granddaughter born...made you smile.
Eighty-four and getting on,
We hadn't seen you light up quite like that...for a while.

It was a cold January day, when Lucile went away.

Somehow I remember best
When you still smoked your filters everyday...the smell of Grandma.
When you quit your health did too
And we began to watch you walk the road...the long road Home.

It was a cold January day, when Lucile went away.

Late at night I'm driving home, moonlight shows coyotes in the snow...the day you died.
They're quiet as they stop to look, they're quiet as they turn around and go...into the night.

It was a cold January day, when Lucile went away.
