lyrics
Sitting by the lakeside, letting my eyes drift into the night
That old cicada song like a long-lost and forgotten lullaby
I could die a happy man underneath the grass and sand and sky
If you find my skeleton smiling, just leave me where I lie
There's a silver light that shines just behind my fragile flesh and skin
It binds me to the earth and stars and guides me like a father from within
When I'm feeling low I ride my woes up where the air is cold and thin
Just to get a better view of everywhere I've gone and haven't been
When my final mortal thoughts are smothered by eternal burning fire
The last sound that I'd like to hear, the heavy breath of someone I desire
There's no sweeter way to go, ain't no better way to bite the wire
I can only hope my luck is up when it's my time to expire
