The Mariner's Children - Sycamore lyrics

Bury me in the woods where the flowers bloom And the roots of the trees and leaves will be my tomb Let my flesh feed the sycamore tree In whose arms you can climb if you ever feel you're missing me Over my body and bones roses they rise And the name on my stone is claimed by the growing vines Let my flesh feed the weeping willow tree In whose shade you can lie if you ever feel you're missing me Only one thing's certain One day there'll fall a curtain Our bodies they will worsen But love will soothe the hurting And you can't run or bargain Beg or plead for pardon Though remote it's always ardent Which causes hearts to harden I've no wish to die I've no wish to leave your side But if I go before you then heed these words of mine Let my flesh feed the sycamore tree In whose arms you can lie if you ever feel you're missing me Only one thing's certain One day there'll fall a curtain Our bodies they will worsen But love will soothe the hurting And you can't run or bargain Beg or plead for pardon Though remote it's always ardent Which causes hearts to harden When night shuts my eyes I'm gone, I'm gone A fire without a light I'm gone, I'm gone
