paroles de chanson Emigrant Eyes - Dolores Keane
Old
Ellis
Island
was
swarming
Like
a
scene
from
a
costume
ball
Decked
out
in
the
colors
of
Europe
And
on
fire
with
the
hope
of
it
all
There
my
father′s
own
father
stood
huddled
With
the
tired
and
the
hungry
and
scared
Turn
of
the
century
pilgrims
Bound
by
the
dream
that
they
shared
They
were
standing
in
lines
just
like
cattle
Poked
and
sodded
and
shoved
Some
were
one
desk
away
from
sweet
freedom
Some
torn
from
someone
they
love
Through
this
sprawling
tower
of
Babel
Came
a
young
man
confused
and
alone
Determined
and
bound
for
America
Carrying
everything
that
he
owned
Sometimes
when
I
look
in
my
grandfather's
emigrant
eyes
I
see
that
day
reflected
and
I
can′t
hold
my
feelings
inside
I
see
starting
with
nothing
and
working
hard
all
of
his
life
So
don't
take
it
for
granted,
say
grandfather's
emigrant
eyes
Now
he
rocks
and
stares
out
the
window
But
his
eyes
are
still
just
as
clear
As
the
day
he
sailed
through
the
harbor
And
come
ashore
on
the
island
of
tears
My
grandfather′s
days
are
numbered
But
I
won′t
let
his
memory
die
He
gave
me
the
gift
of
this
country
And
the
look
in
his
emigrant
eyes
Sometimes
when
I
look
in
my
grandfather's
emigrant
eyes
I
see
that
day
reflected
and
I
can′t
hold
my
feelings
inside
I
see
starting
with
nothing
and
working
hard
all
of
his
life
So
don't
take
it
for
granted,
say
grandfather′s
emigrant
eyes
