lyrics

Close your eyes and lay your head down
Need not wonder if I’m around
Reach your arm out you’ll know where I am

Mathematics can be undone
That’s what happens when two are one
Some things science cannot understand

I am of dirt. You’re of my rib.
Of you and I will be our kids
I’ll live quietly and work with my hands

And then when that day comes
And I make my way home
Don’t mash your teeth and groan
Like those who live with no hope

Listen to me as I tell this
I don’t want to be so selfish
As to seal myself in a concrete tomb

So plant a tree above my body
And its roots will drink deep of me
Growing food our grandkids will consume

Or spread my ashes in the garden
Grow tomatoes, carrots, cardamom
I will feed you still for years to come

We return to the dust
That was used to make us
Until then we still drudge
In this dirt that's been cussed
