Shady Grave - The Walnuts

And you will die

So your family plant you a headstone where they can cry

But you’ll soon be left all alone in the background

Of those closer to life, the side of a pissing hound, next door to a mourning

wife

But soon your stone will crack and fall and you’ll hardly be remembered at all

So the kids will play on top of your kingdom of rumble

Until they’re shoo’d away by parents sporting hardly any stumble

But the players are not cares and the sewers are not readers

Evermore your memory starts to pter

When you wer a baby you were all gums and tongue

And then you got a little older and made some teeth

Then you got much older and you were all gums and tongue again

And you missed your bony friends

So now through your empty mouth in the dirt, a tree begins to sprout

And it will grow until it touches the cloud

With branches so thick and leaves so wide it shades the entire town

And you will be the place to sit and picnic

When your neighbors have family visit

You’ll be the meeting place

Mourner’s social space

You’ll be that broken grave in the shade
