When I was born my grandfather held me in his warm hands
And it seems though his eyes are teary ,
But it's hard to tell from an old photograph
While my brother and sister danced at the feet of his tired and weathered frame
He said there's a light to this boy I've rarely seen
And there he gave me my name
Well my grandfather was a sniper
In the Red Army
He never had any brothers in arms for on both sides stood enemies
With a cold, unbroken will to survive
His steady hand took aim
And he drank just enough to keep himself warm
For he never spoke his true name

When I was a boy,the summers were ours

He would take me down to the sea
Eb Ab
He’d stand on the waters edge
Bb Eb
And watch me go crazy
Ab Am Bb
As the gentle waves rolled in
Cm Cm/Bb Cm Am7b5
Lookin' back I wonder how he must have felt
Ab Bb
Watching me and running so free

All the years in his life he wished he could forget

Did he look at the world through me?

To be taken peacefully'
