DEAD MAN's WILL...


Give this stone to my brother 
Because we found it playing in the barnyard 
Many years ago  
Give this bone to my father 
He'll remember hunting in the hills 
When I was ten years old 
 May my love reach you all 
I lost it in myself and buried too long 
Now that I come to fall 
Please say it's not too late 
Now that I'm dead and gone 
Give this string to my mother 
It pulled the baby teeth 
She keeps inside the drawer 
Give this ring to my lover 
I was scared and stupid not to ask 
For her hand long before 
 May my love reach you all 
I lost it in myself and buried too long 
Now that I come to fall 
Please say it's not too late 
Now that I'm dead and gone 

Dead Mans Will by Iron & Wine
