Lyrics
It was a calm, i was lying on the ground, there was something in the night
The earth was quaking, there was no talking Paxton, the earth was quaking
I was sleeping when they came, there was no talking
Then where s the fire, and some were crying, then where s the fire
Grandpa held me in his lap, i was lying on the ground
He seemed to be sleeping, found the body of his son
with his dignity intact
Never once did he look back, the stars were bright, they ve crossed the border
grandpa s dignity intact
It was a calm, i saw something up there die, there were strangers all about
What are we to give, till i heard s sudden snap, and peaceful night
The stars were bright, it was a calm
the night was calm
There was one, the stars were bright
what are we to give
then where s the fire
of the diggers
Found the body of his son, grandpa lay upon his back
And peaceful night, like god was walking
the night was calm
Then where s the fire, the night was calm
The stars were bright, the night was calm Silent, the stars were bright
soft words were spoken
and i straightened out his hair
It was a calm, and peaceful night, they ve crossed the border
it was a calm
I could see that all were dead, trying to dig the shelter out
we could hear the trembling wall
The stars were bright, and peaceful night
the night was calm
it was a calm
I could hear the sounds of men, grandpa lay upon his back
