Sycamore Lyrics - Singles - The Mariner's Children

Bury me in the woods where the flowers bloom 

And the roots of the trees and leaves will be my tomb 

Let my flesh feed the sycamore tree 

In whose arms you can climb if you ever feel you're missing me 

Over my body and bones roses they rise 

And the name on my stone is claimed by the growing vines 

Let my flesh feed the weeping willow tree 

In whose shade you can lie if you ever feel you're missing me 

Only one thing's certain 

One day there'll fall a curtain 

Our bodies they will worsen 

But love will soothe the hurting 

And you can't run or bargain 

Beg or plead for pardon 

Though remote it's always ardent 

Which causes hearts to harden 

I've no wish to die 

I've no wish to leave your side 

But if I go before you then heed these words of mine 

Let my flesh feed the sycamore tree 

In whose arms you can lie if you ever feel you're missing me 

Only one thing's certain 

One day there'll fall a curtain 

Our bodies they will worsen 

But love will soothe the hurting 

And you can't run or bargain 

Beg or plead for pardon 

Though remote it's always ardent 

Which causes hearts to harden 

When night shuts my eyes 

I'm gone, I'm gone 

A fire without a light 

I'm gone, I'm gone
