My family came from Vaasa Finland…

A song about my great-grandfather, who died when he fell through the ice one winter near my family’s hometown of Vaasa. Life was hard back then, and I should think on this a bit the next time I don’t have a decent wi-fi signal or my $6 coffee is made wrong.

I fell through the ice my dear
I fell through the ice
and ther ain’t no chance you’ll find me
till the spring
and I’ll be cold
My wife was young
but she was frail
she followed by my side
and the boys were sent to live
among the wolves
and they were cold
Vaasa
rush me to your side
fill me up with pride
it was cold and dark and blue
and I miss you
Vaasa
rush me to your side
fill me up with pride
it was cold and dark and blue
and I love you
