Текст песни: In Grandpa's Eyes + перевод

In grandpa’s eyes I see the struggles

Of a simple man and all his troubles

I see faint traces of past generations

I see myself

In grandpa’s eyes

Grandpa’s hands were rough and callused

They pounded steel for thirty years

They built the trains for the Illinois central line

The riders were safe

In grandpa’s hands

On an august afternoon

The white socks would play

On a cheap transistor radio

He’d listen to the game

Cicadas all a buzz

About a hundred and ten

In the stifling heat grandpa would hope

But the Sox would just lose again

Grandpa’s clothes smelled like camphor oil

He’d mix a liniment

In case one of us got sick

He’d rub my grandma’s legs

She was in such pain again

I’ll never forget the smell of grandpa’s clothes

Sometimes after dinner we’d drive

Down to Wolf Lake

Grandpa loved the peacefulness of that time of day

There we’d fish for perch

‘til the sun touched down over the oil refineries

In grandpa’s eyes I see the troubles

Of a working man and all his struggles

To raise a family

During those depression years

I shall always find

Strength

In grandpa’s eyes

I shall always find

Strength and hope and love

In grandpa’s eyes
