Vandiver - Evergreen
Dig a hole and put my heart in push the earth back over me
And I can be the garden, give the roots somethin' to eat
Then all I've done will still be somewhere deeper in the ground
But it's later now than it's ever been and the sun is going down
And the moon is looming over everything
Maggots move their mountains into being
The willow weeps but there is no need to grieve
What may rot will come back evergreen
So come find me in the wood of some future cedar pine
Giving all the breezes a few pieces of my mind
Because all my dreams of flying leave me dying at the end
And part of me can't wait to see my ceiling caving in
When the moon is looming over everything
The bitter fruit of all my labor
Be my tomb the earth or human being
What may rot will come back
Give my body to the birds, have them "ship" me out to sea
So I might find the whale to sing the sailor out of me
And the moon is looming over everything
Then fall lips move but they all say nothing
And Mamma June has yet to intervene
But what may rot
What may rot, will come back
