In grannies house
sitting in grannies living room
the dark paper on the walls
the old clock chimes on the hour
out pops the cukoo from the clocks breaking the silence
sitting on the old rocking chair
the glow of the fire from the smoking coals
the smoke rising up the chimmny
the silence all around
kids outs side playing knock, knock, tapping on the windows
oh what annoyance they are
the stillness of the room cold damp old fashioned decorations
the television silent still on the off postion
the room is silent gran sits silent not moving
thinks of the old times
that have been the memories of her youth snatch away locked away cant be seen
