Aaron Espe - Sheltering Oaks Lyrics

Well, grandma broke her hip
That was the start of it
The family began to talk
Even if we share
All the work to take care of her
It's too much, so we made the call

Sheltering Oaks nursing home
On the edge of the golf course
Residents watching passerby offspring
Swinging sticks at the ball

All the workers who work there
They bathe her, take good care
Oh, the childhood of old age
And I'm ashamed to admit it
I don't often visit
There's a smell that's just hard to take

Sheltering Oaks nursing home
On the edge of the golf course
Residents watching passerby offspring
Swinging sticks at the ball

Well, I suppose someday I will be there
I suppose that's just how life goes
My children and all of their children
Will need help carrying the load

Sheltering Oaks
Nursing home
On the edge of the golf course
Someday I'll be a resident watching
My passerby offspring
Swinging sticks at the ball

Sheltering Oaks nursing home
On the edge of the golf course
Residents watching passerby offspring
Swinging sticks at the ball
