When I’m gone, my darling, she’s going to bury me in the garden
lay my weary head under the soil
raise a crop above me of cooking herbs and ivy
I will climb my way back to our loving home
Stay with me darling, embrace me in silence
hold me until the morning breaks the sky
Stay with me darling, enfold me in darkness
I knew nothing until you held me in your arms
When I’m gone, my darling, she’s going to bury me in the garden
lay my weary head under the soil.
My body has been borrowed from the earthworm and the sparrow
I am everything that cycles and returns
Stay with me darling, embrace me in silence
hold me until the morning breaks the sky
Stay with me darling, enfold me in darkness
I knew nothing until you held me in your arms
