Garden Gate (pop)

[Introduction - Spoken] Gran'ma, this one's for you... [Refrain] Ooooh oh oooh, Ooooh ooh oh, Ooooh oh oooh Ooooh oh oooh, Ooooh ooh oh... [Verse 1] I moved down south, to fix my life A family to love, a darlin' wife. I took for granted, our time back then Fishin' at the pond, way back when. You were always ready with a meal Day or night, it was never an ordeal. Should'a made time, for one last goodbye... Now I'm singin', this painful lullaby... [Chorus] Gran'ma, I'm sorry I let you down Too many miles, from our ol' hometown. Didn't hold your hand, in that hospital bed I was tryin' to be good, workin' instead. It haunts me, at the end of every day Wishin' that I'd found, some other way... [Verse 2] Wish I could be fixin', your garden gate Pickin' sugar snaps, hands caked in dirt Instead I'm here, a world apart Regret and shame, in my heart The love you gave, the things you taught Now all I have, are tears that I've fought [Chorus] Gran'ma, I'm sorry I let you down Too many miles, from our ol' hometown. Didn't hold your hand, in that hospital bed I was tryin' to be good, workin' instead. It haunts me, at the end of every day Wishin' that I'd found, some other way... [Verse 3] Farewell, Gran'ma, my heart's in shame I wasn't there, and I'm to blame Didn't visit you when you were sick Didn't say goodbye, a regret I can't kick Your grandson's sorry, for not bein' there I'll make it up to you, in every song I share [Bridge] The sweetest soul that I ever knew I wish I'd spent more time with you Missed your funeral, it breaks me down Guilt and pain, they're always aroun' But all I can do now is sing this song And hope you're up there list'nin' along [Chorus - solo] Gran'ma, I'm sorry I let you down Too many miles, from our ol' hometown. Didn't hold your hand, in that hospital bed I was tryin' to be good, workin' instead. It haunts me, at the end of every day Wishin' that I'd found, some other way... some other way, to say goodbye... [Outro] Ooooh oh oooh, Ooooh ooh oh, Ooooh oh oooh Ooooh oh oooh, Ooooh ooh oh, Ooooh oh oooh Ooooh oh oooh...
