FORGET-ME-NOT

FORGET-ME-NOT

Wild the wind that stirs within my heart
Shaking branches in the autumn trees
There will come a day the wind will part
And my ashes cast upon the leaves

Wild the fire that races in my veins
Burning brushes in the summer heat
There will come a day the fire will wane
One more circle of a life complete

CHORUS
Forget-me-nots shall lay upon the lawn that leads to where I’m laid
I pray that one will keep it safe
Until the day the earth will lay its claim upon my tired bones,
I hold no fear of my own grave…

Wild the moon that waxes in my eyes
Brightly shining as the winter snow
There will come a day the moon won’t rise
Leaving darkness in its afterglow

Wild the tide that pulls within my bones
Rising faster than the flower in spring
There will come a day the tides will roam
Never telling what the end will bring

CHORUS

BRIDGE
I’ll be returned to the dirt
“Ashes to ashes”, so is said
I’ll be washed in the river
And my body will find its rest
Lay the flowers down…

CHORUS
