Things elapse and run their course
You've had your day and now it's past
Where did all the cooking go
The endless knitting patterns
Your eyes are absent where once they were mighty
But she wanted to go home
Where did all the shopping go
The endless supermarket shuffles
Your hands are shaky where once they were steady
But she wanted to go home
But she didn't know where that's supposed to be
But she wanted to go home
Granny. Her face wore the scars of household upkeep
Granny. And from your God you expected something
Granny. You worked so hard to die for nothing
Granny. Cast off, written off, sent to scrap
She grows old and fades and withers
A second childhood now she suffers
There was a dutiful mother
The constant stream of ironing and washing
Her face wore the scars of years of household upkeep
But she wanted to go home
Where once you were so skilful
Now you are just clumsy and awkward
And where there was vigour
Now there is only weakness
But she wanted to go home
But she didn't know where that's supposed to be
But she wanted to go home
Granny. Her face wore the scars of household upkeep
Granny. You worked so hard to die for nothing
Granny. And from your God you expected something
Granny. Cast off, written off, sent to scrap
ISOLATION KILLS
But she wanted to go home
But she didn't know where that's supposed to be
But she wanted to go home
Granny. She goes from good to bad - to worse
Granny. Where is the girl who once played freely
Granny. Did you believe in all you worked for
Granny. Time, so surely, takes its toll
Granny. To work so hard to die for nothing
Granny. Cast off, written off, sent to scrap
