Lyrics
When my breath goes thin and the blue hills close lay me under rain where the cold root grows Black soil on my chest moss along my side one dusk wing above turning in the night Do not call my name through the hollow pine let it lose its edge in the cedar line Let the wild grass rise let the wild grass rise rain in the hill snow in my eyes Let the sea break bright let the birds fly wide I will not return let the wild grass rise Antlers in the mist lichen on the stone red leaves in the stream moving on alone Far below the frost silver things unwind roots drink what I was under moon white ice Do not dig for me where the black earth sings I have gone too deep for returning things Let the wild grass rise let the wild grass rise rain in the hill snow in my eyes Let the sea break bright let the birds fly wide I will not return let the wild grass rise Less than a cry less than a bone less than the print of a foot in snow Under the ash under the thorn something grows green where I was warm Let the wild grass rise let the wild grass rise rain in the hill snow in my eyes Let the sea break bright let the birds fly wide I will not return let the wild grass rise Let the roots go down let the flowers climb I will not return let the wild grass rise
