Watering the Soil Songtext
von Gavin Castleton

On the stone I carved your name
On my heart the chiseled flame-like permanence
But there′s no permanence
That's just some shit we say in fear
To help us pass the years


I was lost and couldn′t sleep
With you distant from my feet
My perfect son,
What have I done?
I put you in the ground tonight
Out beside the house
By the window light

I laid out there in our blanket
And imagined you were kicking in your sleep
Just three feet below
Where your father weeps

In the morning I came to
Did you hear me calling you
I listened then
With pressing ear
"You're not alone, I'm here
Watering the soil
Just above you, dear"
