Wasted Words of a Painted Poem

OrangeG fan I am loving the banjo playing on this one with the intermittent plucks, heartfelt lyrics, and a mood that has its own personality. "and will you bury me 'neath the ever changing trees so flowers could grow through my mind". That is an amazing line. Sold!

lyrics

I've been here for seven long years
but I'll be gone this time tomorrow
well my mother's dead and gone
my baby brother's on the run
and my love is married to another

[Oh lord, will there be a day when they wont have to say
we'll remember him another way] x2

and will you bury me 'neath the ever changing trees
so flowers could grow through my mind
I could willfully relieve all the tension from the trees
and eternally believe you're lying next to me
yes eternally believe you're lying next to me

[Oh lord, will there be a day when they wont have to say
we'll remember him another way] x2

so today's the day I go
on the ground an inch of snow
have I seen the loss of all I've known?
and by the weight of my lungs they'll sing a song out while I'm hung
yes the wasted words of a painted poem
oh the wasted words of a painted poem
