lyrics

Root Full of Soul

When I die don’t bury me
Just hang my body in the old yard tree
And all the snakes and all the birds
Can line their nests with my soft inners
But hey, now don’t be afraid it’s okay.

See sinews laid and swept these floors
And tooth and nail helped hang these doors
And blood it piled up every stone
With a belly full of love
And a root full of soul

But hey now don’t be so afraid
But hey now don’t be so afraid
But hey now don’t be so afraid

Lay down

Whispers, short years, back stab, cold fears
Poison waters, sons & daughters
Running, creeping, laughing and a-weeping
And all of it is seeping into the cracks in the floor
But hey, now don’t be so afraid it’s okay.

When I die don’t bury me
Just hang my body in the old yard tree
All the rats and all the lizards
They can feast for a week
On my fat liver
But hey, now don’t be afraid it’s okay.

Woman it’s okay
Man it’s okay
Child it’s okay
Girl it’s okay
Goy it’s okay
We’re going to be okay
