lifeblood: songs: when you come for me

lay me down easy
in the valley or the pines
the green river gorge
above the south carolina line
fields filled with gold and
junkyards and the rows
lay me down easy
when it's my time to go

when you come for me
let the mountains hold my bones
there's a place for me
let me lie down with you in the cove

mama i dreamed that
i had no hand to hold
and the land i cut my teeth on
wouldn't let me call it home
so lay me down easy
in the valley or the pines
tell me that you'll be there waiting
standing in the light

when you come for me
let the mountains hold my bones
there's a place for me
let me lie down with you in the cove

when you come for me
let the mountains hold my bones
there's a place for me
let me lie down with you in the cove

when you come for me
let the mountains hold my bones
there's a place for me
let me lie down with you in the cove
