Leave A Letter

WHEN I DIE
I HOPE YOU WON'T BE
MOURNING AND SPEAKING THROUGH TEARS OF MY NAME
I HOPE AND TRUST THAT YOU'LL REMEMBER
ALL WE HAD DOWN MEMORY LANE

​

WHEN I DIE I START TO WONDER
WILL I BE WISE AND UNFAZED BY FEAR
IF SO, I'LL GO WITH GRACE TO THE GROUND
AND NO, THERE WILL BE NO TEARS

​

WHEN I DIE
GO LEAVE A LETTER IN MY GRAVE
THAT TELLS ME ALL YOU NEVER TOLD ME
AND ILL WRITE BACK ONE DAY

​

WHEN I DIE
PLEASE GO COLLECTING
ALL THE LIES THAT I HAVE TOLD
AND TIE TO THEM TO STONES THAT ARE SINKING
TOO WATERS DARK AND COLD

​

WHEN I DIE
PLEASE DON'T REMEMBER
ALL THE LINES I CROSSED INSIDE YOUR MIND
AND DON'T FORGET THE SILENCE
THAT FOLLOWED EVERY TIME

​

WHEN I DIE
GO LEAVE A LETTER IN MY GRAVE
THAT TELLS ME ALL YOU NEVER TOLD ME
AND I'LL WRITE BACK ONE DAY

​

WHEN I DIE
DON'T SHOW MY CHILDREN
THE GRAVE THEY DUG TO KEEP ME ALL ALONE
AND TELL THEM NOT TO STAND ABOVE ME
'CAUSE IM NOT THERE
FOREVER I'M AT HOME

​

WHEN I DIE
GO LEAVE A LETTER IN MY GRAVE
THAT TELLS ME ALL YOU NEVER TOLD ME
AND I'LL WRITE BACK ONE DAY
