Before They Put Me in the Ground Songtext
von Nick Harper

before they put me in the ground
i′d like to make a sound for someone i've got something to say
in the middle of last night
i turned on the light and stared into space
and her song began singing me
her music was playing me
and i heard myself say i hope she′s ok

i remembered my life living me
and my smile even smiling me
far and away
when the distance between us pulled itself tight
wrapping us round our butterflies
in a beautiful way
and then more than a memory her name came out of me
and i heard myself say i hope she's ok


an aura around us fused us into one
lifting us high flying us on
but in one mad rush of blood
i seized the future and i shook it
i remember the day

and her groove has spun my spiral since then
out of her into her again
every day
and my destiny offers me up like a lamb
my will surrenders it's a sham
i′m given away
my love

now they can put me in the ground
i′ve made a sound for you
in my own little way
my love i hope you'll be ok
i know you′ll be ok
