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
Swallowed down the poison at our backdoors
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

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
