dead man's will.


Give this stone to my brother
Because we found it playing in the barnyard
Many years ago 

Give this bone to my father

He'll remember hunting in the hills
When I was ten years old

May my love reach you all

I lost it in myself and buried too long
Now that I come to fall 
Please say it's not too late
Now that I'm dead and gone 

Give this string to my mother

It pulled the baby teeth
She keeps inside the drawer 

Give this ring to my lover

I was scared and stupid not to ask
For her hand long before 

May my love reach you all
I lost it in myself and buried too long
Now that I come to fall
Please say it's not too late
Now that I'm dead and gone
