IRON AND WINE / CALEXICO - Dead Man's Will

Many years ago

When I was ten years old

Give this string to my mother

Please say it's not too late

Now that I'm dead and gone

It pulled the baby teeth

Give this bone to my father

Give this stone to my brother

Because we found it playing in the barnyard

He'll remember hunting in the hills

I lost it in myself and buried too long

Now that I come to fall

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

Now that I'm dead and gone
