If I touched the lid on the  candy dish in the living room                                                                         My Grandmother could hear the clink of glass on glass in the kitchen                                                " Michael !"  she would exclaim softly                                                                                                         There was a rummer in the family that she was physic                                                                  That she had seen two of her children after they had died                                                                                                                                     Before anyone had told her they where gone                                                                                             I don't know about that but I can tell you                                                                                            No one touched the lid on the candy dish without my grandmother knowing
