Lyrics

I don't want no gravestone when I go, and you could plant a tree
No gravestone when I go, carve in my name for me
You can tell everybody they'll find shelter in the shade
As the sun hangs from my branches, my eternal bed is made

When the Earth is my bedsheets, and my body is a shell
Let my rings count the stories, that only time can tell
I don't want no gravestone when I go, you could plant a tree
Don't want no gravestone when I go, carve in my name for me

If ever I should timber, if you should cut me down
I'll keep you warm by the fire as my embers kiss the ground
I don't want no gravestone when I go, you could plant a tree
Don't want no gravestone when I go, carve in my name for me
