Heard a soft sufting through the front door.
Must be 'nother telegram from Kentucky.
Never lived there. Never been there.
But God I bet it's beautiful.
Blue grass. Blue trees. Blue people.
I'll make it one day, I figure. Out of this trailer.
Out of this ditch.
Got a 'gram not two months ago from Kentucky.
Mother lives there now. Frail, worried. Probably blue.
Says it don't bother her I never visit.
Says she's sticking around. So I figure I have time.
Time to get to Kentucky. Time to be blue. Time for it all, I figure.
This is about family.......
Your Blue eyes are the product of centuries.....
Prussians banner of royalty
Are blue....
Since time began....
It was the Vikings and warriors....
Who left their sign behind......
Your family had a mother
Who tamed a warrior...
In days beyond history so long ago
With her smile and love...
She tamed him......
He gave her his protection...
She gave him a daughter
Her blue eyes....
He so loved her...His daughter.....
But more than that
She gave her her smile
No matter how much
The sorrow to come...
Deep within this child
Held a truth....long held
By Chieftains and Pagans....
That love.....and tenderness
Is a gift passed on....forever.
From your mother
To her mother...from her
Son....to his mother...
And to you.....
Centuries don't measure time.....
And why should you....
Your Blue eyes and smile
And sweet heart.....
Come from a time
When nothing else mattered
With out love....life
Did not matter....
Now it is today...
and Rhiannon is our joy.....
Her blue eyes...
Heart breaking cannot swallow,
What have they done they don't understand,
Cut out my heart with there evil hand,
Please take your grandson the policeman did say ,
Be down at the station be there at eight,
In they came with my blue eyed boy,
All smiling and full of joy,
With milk in one hand and your bags in the other,
They rushed off i began to shudder,
This is when i did discover,
They had been given a court order,
Face in my hands i began to weep,
My blue eyed boy they had taken to keep,
eight long months past a burr,
But always in my thoughts there you were,
Love from Nanny
