lyrics

the winter's rolling in but i'm not scared anymore
old wooden ships and cannon balls are washed up on the shore
i knew nothing before

i left my heart in a grave in my backyard
my life has just begun and i miss everything so far
bury me with my mother so we can float to the same star
i left my heart in a grave in my back yard

and if i die in the rainy spring don't hesitate to sing for me
if i die in the rainy spring, bury me with my family
and if i die in the summer time down by the tracks and electric fence
if i die in the summer time, please bury me with all of my old friends
and if i die in the pretty fall the sweet nostalgic fall
let the crisp wind sweep my ashes up cause it's my favorite time of all
and if i die on a winter day while snow falls on the earth
i'll be so sad, won't give a shit, just throw me in the dirt

and if i ever really die, if i live to make it that far
please bury me with my old friend in my childhood back yard
