lyrics

My Body

Well my body is made of coal
And it’ll burn nice and slow
When my friends and family toss me on the fire
But I’ll keep their spirits warm
As this winters wearing on
Until spring time comes and everything’s in bloom

Take those ashes that you find
Compress them through the depths of time
And from my body diamonds will surely grow
Cut em down to tiny stones
Take a deep breath and propose
Make some girl as happy as I never could

If my body, if my body, if my body
Has no worth let it pass
If my body, if my body, if my body
Has some worth keep it close

And the flowers will surely grow
On this grave that I have sown
And the grass will come to fill up every void
And if my old heart is true
A great old cedar will poke through
To fill the gap between the sun and my stone

If my body, if my body, if my body
Has no worth let it pass
If my body, if my body, if my body
Has some worth keep it close

about

Wyatt Cropper Parks Bellingham, Washington

As a chronic songwriter things just sort of stack up every so often and I just have to put them out there. My music covers the map from the highly personal to the wacky (favoring the personal though). Please enjoy and share!
