Man Tree
Drop a seed, see it grow
Never mind what's underneath
I see you from the great beyond
Though we may never meet
So, let me know when you go
I'll save you a spot where I lay
I'm only bone and tissue now
But my soul is here to stay
I would like
You next to me
Though you're alive
And I'm asleep
Death is quick
And sometimes kind
So take your pick
And take your time
And now, I see you coming
Coming 'round the bend
To that tree above my head
Right above my head
Six feet up from the place
Where I lie in my sleep
The roots are curling through my insides
As my skin becomes its leaves
I live on, reaching up
My spirit watching from above
This man tree that has formed
In the yard by your stream
But you walk away from my place
Won't you return someday?
I would like
You next to me
Though you're alive
And I'm asleep
Death is quick
And sometimes kind
So take your pick
And take your time
Never mind what's underneath
I see you from the great beyond
Though we may never meet
So, let me know when you go
I'll save you a spot where I lay
I'm only bone and tissue now
But my soul is here to stay
I would like
You next to me
Though you're alive
And I'm asleep
Death is quick
And sometimes kind
So take your pick
And take your time
And now, I see you coming
Coming 'round the bend
To that tree above my head
Right above my head
Six feet up from the place
Where I lie in my sleep
The roots are curling through my insides
As my skin becomes its leaves
I live on, reaching up
My spirit watching from above
This man tree that has formed
In the yard by your stream
But you walk away from my place
Won't you return someday?
I would like
You next to me
Though you're alive
And I'm asleep
Death is quick
And sometimes kind
So take your pick
And take your time
