lyrics

The closest thing to heaven or hell is
the feeling I get when you tell of me.
The roots of the willow trees nudge me softly
out of my sleep so I can look upon your
memory and weep for you, with you, for me.
If you could, I’d like a fall one
when the red sun’s just a hint of warm.
When the homespun joys watered down
the poison at our back doors. If at all you
choose to keep anything, let it be the way
I speak to you. Don’t let my voice get weak,
unable to greet your conscience once more.
The closest thing to heaven or hell is
the feeling I get when you tell of me.
The roots of the willow trees nudge me softly
out of my sleep so I can look upon your
memory and weep for you, with you, for me.
I don’t need no idols, and I do well
without beads. I find it feels better to
lie between the heather and weeds.
My soul would climb up a dandelion puff
and catch the wind somewhere -
Leave the granite alone, don’t you look
for my bones, they’re not there.
Because the closest thing to heaven or hell
is the feeling I get when you tell of me.
The roots of the willow trees nudge me softly
out of my sleep so I can look upon your
memory and weep.
