about

A Chad VanGaalen cover

this is neither the beginning nor the end of things

lyrics

Sleep all day
Just waiting for the sun to set
I hang my clothes
Up on the line
When I die
I'll hang my head beside the willow tree
When I'm dead
Is when I'll be free

And you can take my body
Put it in a boat
Light it on fire
You can use the kerosene
Take my body
Put it in a boat
Light it on fire
Send it out to sea

Sleep all day
Just waiting for the sun to set
I hang my clothes
Up on the line
When I die
I hang my head beside the willow tree
When I'm dead
Is when I'll be free

So you can take my body
Put it in a boat
Light it on fire
Use the kerosene
Take my body
Put it in a boat
Light it on fire
Send it out to sea

and in the breeze that will carry them away,
to make those verdant havens dance and sway
with me
after my last
