Lyrics

Grandpop we had sweet days on the beach in Ventnor, I remember

Reflecting on fond memories with Grandpop at Ventnor beach.

Wish we could walk along and you could watch the waves and talk the current Septembers

Expressing a desire to share peaceful moments, walking, and talking with Grandpop in September.


These days I'm not so sure who is getting along or if they were before

Uncertainty about current relationships and whether people are still getting along.

I wasn't there when Moses parted the sea, I wasn't there with you grandpa back in Kiev

Not present for significant events, referencing Moses parting the sea and missing moments with Grandpa in Kiev.


With the ladies dressed so nice in their ornate reds with satin textures

Observing well-dressed ladies, juxtaposed with the challenges of escaping noise and violence.

Have you since found some peace it's like we can't escape all the noise and violence

Questioning if Grandpop has found peace amidst the chaos.


These days I'm not so sure who is getting along or if they were before

Continued uncertainty about current relationships and harmony among people.

I wasn't there when Moses parted the sea, I wasn't there with you grandpa back in Kiev

Reiterating the absence during significant events and missing moments with Grandpa in Kiev.


Bagels for everyone, that's the kind of thing you would have wanted

Referencing Grandpop's preference for sharing and generosity with a mention of bagels.

There should be lots to eat or how can they expect to get a tiring job done?

Highlighting the importance of ample food supply for effective work.


These days I'm not so sure who is getting along or if they were before

Repeating uncertainty about current relationships and harmony.

I wasn't there when Moses parted the sea, I wasn't there with you grandpa back in Kiev

Reemphasizing the absence during significant events and missing moments with Grandpa in Kiev.


These days I'm not so sure who is getting along or if they were before

Continued uncertainty about current relationships and harmony among people.

I wasn't there when Moses parted the sea, I wasn't there with you grandpa back in Kiev

Final repetition of the absence during significant events and missing moments with Grandpa in Kiev.
