Well as our rotting bodies pay back the earth its love
And the vile fleshy matter will crumble into dust
I'll be picked up by the wind
and blown into strangers eyes
Diffuse into their bodies,
be in their tears when they cry
Until there are five thousand people carrying me
Until there are five thousand people carrying me
Well Oscar and Lucy will buy themselves a coffin
Oh a single box of wood that together they will rotten
Oh and as their bodies decay they'll combine with one another
Oh a single act of love
far greater than any other
Oh and as
they'll leave one pile of dirt
Oh and as they'll leave one pile of dirt
When I'm minerals in the soil I'll diffuse into a tree
You'll have five thousand branches
which will have five thousand leaves
And I'll be in every one
Oh and as their leaf blows free
I will land upon the earth and I will grow another tree
Until there are five thousand trees made of me
Until there are five thousand trees made of me
Oh when darkness surrounds me Oh when
darkness surrounds me
Oh when darkness is all I can see
Oh when darkness surrounds me Oh when darkness surrounds me
Oh when darkness is all I can see
Oh when darkness surrounds me Oh when
darkness surrounds me
Oh when darkness, is all I can see
Oh when darkness surrounds me Oh when darkness surrounds me
I will have five thousand bodies
I will have five thousand trees
Which all have five thousand branches
Which all have five thousand leaves
Oh, I'll have five thousand lovers
And I'll have five thousand bees
Made of me
