Dead Man's Will

Give this stone to my brother

Cuz 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 10 years old



May my love reach you all

I lost it in myself and buried it 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 it too long

Now that I come to fall

Please say it's not too late

Now that I'm dead and gone
