Simple little fear, I felt it But lo, in the leaves, ain't no hint of home The sun will resign, say moonlight Will you be a brother and lead me to the lake? I've got to wash that sin away Well my blood ain't right I'm boiling And my pores don't cry for no reason Well I was sleeping in the mud, Where I came from When the dirt became a river and carried me away And it felt so natural, my bloodline We die like animals but we've got graves Someone's got to mourn what goes away So evergreen, will you cry for me? I am washed up 'neath your needle boughs I burst, my chest ablaze with light I hate you, oh you know I do But I wanted to go like you Solemn 'neath the cruel moon Stars you've seen us fall like flies
