lyrics

And when I die
Take me Upstate
Take me to West Texas
Fly me to the Gulf of Mexico

Don’t need my body there
No ashes necessary
In these gardens of my soul

Don’t wash my grave
Let the life lie on it
It looks nice
With some life grime on it

Don’t bleach that stone
Let it get closer to home
To the earth
Where it’s from

Don’t wash my grave
Let the life lie on it
It looks nice
With some life grime on it

Don’t bleach that stone
Let it age out
Let it fade
Let it grey

Don’t wash my grave
Let the life lie on it
It looks nice
With some life grime on it

Don’t bleach that stone
Let it get closer to home
To the earth
Where it’s from

Don’t wash my grave
Let the life lie on it
It looks nice
With some life grime on it

Don’t bleach that stone
Let it age out
Let it fade
Let it grey

Don’t wash my grave
Let the life lie on it
It looks nice
With some life grime on it

Don’t bleach that stone
Let it get closer to home
To the earth
Where it’s from

Don’t wash my grave
Let the life lie on it
It looks nice
With some life grime on it

Don’t bleach that stone
Let it age out
Let it fade
Let it grey

It is well
With my soul
With my soul
It is well

Nothing can take my peace
It’s floating above me
My halo
I’m an angel, Lord knows

A little god,
divine and I will die

And when my time comes
Won’t hold the house
I will let it go
I will let it go
