Red haired Silas loved his Granny Grace, who is now in Heaven, but all those Iris bulbs she planted around their cottage have multiplied many times over...now her grace is fully displayed through her beautiful Iris's...100's of Purple, Yellow, purple & whites....Silas smiles when they bloom each spring...and he remembers. ........................................ [Verse 1] Red hair in the doorway Dirt on Granny's hands Purple in the morning Yellow in the sand She knelt by the cottage Whispered to the ground "Grow for the family" And they came back round [Pre-Chorus] Year by year they spread Past the fence and stone Every spring they wake Like they know the road [Chorus] Granny Grace irises Blooming for Silas (Granny Grace irises) Right where she left them Granny Grace irises Bringing him home When they open wide He smiles and he knows [Verse 2] Now the rooms are quieter The porch swing still But when the stems are rising Time sits still Hundreds in the yard now Purple, gold, and bright Like her hands are still there In the April light [Pre-Chorus] He walks slow through them Heart full and plain Every petal says Her love remains [Chorus] Granny Grace irises Blooming for Silas (Granny Grace irises) Right where she left them Granny Grace irises Bringing him home When they open wide He smiles and he knows [Bridge] Passed on to Heaven But never gone Her care still lingers In every one In every bloom In every view Her legacy lives When the spring comes through [Final Chorus] Granny Grace irises Blooming for Silas (Granny Grace irises) Still by the cottage Granny Grace irises Love in the rows When they open wide He smiles and he knows --------------------------------- Lyrics © 2026 written by Carolyn https://suno.com/@shapenotes
