memento mori - nelson walker lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i’m not waiting ’round for answers to fall down from the sky
and i’m not running ’round in circles just to watch the world go by

[chorus]
and you say
the path is long and winding
and you say
the mountaintop is cold
and you say
your legs are tired of walking
and you say
you’re young and then you’re old

[instrumental break]

[verse 2]
i’m gonna take a boat downriver
and paddle back upstream
rinse the sweat from off my body
and lie amongst the leaves

[chorus]
and you say
the water’s flowing quickly
and you say
the day’s already done
and you say
the leaves are lately falling
and you say
your fate can’t be outrun
[bridge]
oh, may there come a day
when this eternal body fades away
to feed a billion bodies more

and when the mold spreads through my skin
and when the maggots burrow in
i’ll nourish them with every rotting pore

and i’m afraid to die, but i will never die, ’cause nothing ever dies
you’re just transformed

[chorus]
and you say
your fragile heart is beating
and you say
you’re withered down to bones
and you say
the fallow*light is waning
and you say
your grave is overgrown
and you say
god is a pine tree
and you say
the forests burned to ash
and you say
after autumn comes the springtime
and you say
after future comes the past
[instrumental outro]
