Beautiful Tomb Songtext

von Emily Davis

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 and children can sit underneath
A towering, silent company I'll be
I'll be, I'll be
I'll be, I'll be, I'll be
One day, one day I'll be
One day, one day I'll be
Strewn about some foreign sea
And I swear that's fine by me
Maybe, maybe I'll be
In each wave beckoning
Boats back home to family
A cresting, crashing company I'll be
I'll be, I'll be
I'll be, I'll be, I'll be
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 wrought from its womb
My beautiful mother, my beautiful tomb
My beautiful mother, my beautiful tomb
One day, one day I'll be… I'll be, I'll be
I'll be, I'll be, I'll be
