  Give this stone to my brother

  (bass )

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

  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

  (bass )

It pulled the baby teeth she keeps inside a drawer

  Give this ring to my lover

  I was scared and stupid not to ask for her hand long before

  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.
