"Dead Man's Will" lyrics - CALEXICO & IRON & WINE

CALEXICO & IRON & WINE
"Dead Man's Will"

Give this stone to my brother
'Cause we found it playing
In the barnyard many years ago

Give this bone to my father
He'll remember hunting in the hills
When I was ten years old

[Chorus:]
May my love reach you all
I locked it in myself and buried it too long
Now that I've come to fall
Please say it's not too late
Now that I'm dead and gone

Give this string to my mother
It pulled the baby teeth
She keeps inside the drawer

Give this ring to my lover
I was scared and stupid not to ask
For her hand long before

[Chorus:]
May my love reach you all
I lost it in myself and buried it too long
Now that I've come to fall
Please say it's not too late
Now that I'm dead and gone
