[Verse 1]
One day one day I'll be
One day one day I'll be
Scattered beneath a canopy of leaves
And that's fine by me
Maybe maybe i'll be
Maybe i'll become a tree
That lovers or children can sit underneath
A towering silent company
[Chorus]
I'll be (repeated)
[Verse 2]
One day one day i'll be
One day one day i'll be
Strewn about some foreign sea
Who knows where that's fine by me
Maybe maybe i'll be
In each wave of beckoning back home
To friends and company
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Well you can see my breath
Dissipate across the night
A stale cigarette throwing out its last light
You can see my breath
I love how it ends
Cause you know the worst kind of curse is permanence
So let the earth receive what was once
Ripped from its womb
My beautiful mother my beautiful tomb
My beautiful mother my beautiful tomb
