Grandma's A Stranger Lyrics - The Blue Dogs

Grandma's a stranger, smilin' inside 

Holding her own as her old sense of pride lingers on, lingers on 

Changing directions, changing these memories of crimes and crazy dreams 

Piled up in front of me 

Ice cream never erases the heat of her smile 

Grandma's a stranger, a taste I recall 

A warm intuition, to shine through the wall wrapped around it all 

Never protecting the fall 

Hot silent summers, backyard adventures, a world swept away by tomorrow today 

And these games I play, to cover the distance I've made 

Ice cream never erases the heat of her smile 

Up ahead is a place 

Where the future I see is but one generation away 

Up ahead is a face of a queen, in-between, sight unseen 

Grandma's a stranger, a wish gone away 

A misty encounter, questions surround her 

As children obey whatever tradition might say 

Ice cream never erases the heat of her smile
