Box Of Cedar - Lyrics - Marissa Nadler

Title: Box Of Cedar
Artist: Marissa Nadler
Composer(s): Marissa Rachael Nadler

Lyric:
Seven winter's past and gone
I once was young and I once was strong
Shall I be, I'll be, I'll be

Six fine times I've felt my knees
Buckle to your sweet release
Shall I be, I'll be, I'll be

Five times tried to conjure you
A letter or a note or clue
Shall I be, I'll be, I'll be

And I'm going to tell everybody
I'm know that I'm glad to see you
And I'm going to tell everybody
I'm know that I'm glad to see you
Even though you're comin' home
In a box of cedar

For four years you courted I
Your raven hair, your brittle bride
Shall I be, I'll be, I'll be

Three more times I tried to find a
Lover to match your sweet kind
Shall I be, I'll be, I'll be

And I'm going to tell everybody
I'm know that I'm glad to see you
And I'm going to tell everybody
I'm know that I'm glad to see you
Even though you're come and gone
In a box of cedar

What am I to fill these rooms
I make it want the drone of doom
Shall I be, I'll be, I'll be

Southern winter's past and gone
I once was young and I once was strong
Shall I be, I'll be, I'll be

Please Don'T Bury Me - Lyrics - John Prine

Lyric:
Woke up this morning
Put on my slippers
Walked in the kitchen
And died

And oh, what a feeling!
When my soul
Went through the ceiling
And on up into heaven, I did ride

When I got there, they did say
"John, it happened this way
You slipped upon the floor
And hit your head"

And all the angels say
"Just before you passed away
That these were the very last words
That you said"

"Please don?t bury me
Down in that cold, cold ground
No, I?d rather have 'em cut me up
And pass me all around"

"Throw my brain in a hurricane
And the blind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both of my ears
If they don?t mind the size"

"Give my stomach to Milwaukee
If they run out of beer
Put my socks in a cedar box
Just to get 'em out of here"

"Venus De Milo can have my arms
Look out! I've got your nose
Sell my heart to the junk man
And give my love to Rose"

"But please don?t bury me
Down in that cold, cold ground
I?d rather have 'em cut me up
And pass me all around"

"Throw my brain in a hurricane
The blind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both of my ears
If they don?t mind the size, oh man!"

"Give my feet to the footloose
Careless, fancy free
And give my knees to the needy
Don?t pull that stuff on me"

"Hand me down my walking cane
It?s a sin to tell a lie
Send my mouth way down south
And kiss my ass goodbye"

"But, please don?t bury me
Down in that cold, cold ground
I?d rather have 'em cut me up
And pass me all around"

"Throw my brain in a hurricane
And the blind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both of my ears
If they don?t mind the size, that's right"

Katrina'S Fair - Lyrics - Hope Chest: The Fredonia Recordings 1982-1983 - 10,000 Maniacs

Title: Katrina'S Fair
Album: Hope Chest: The Fredonia Recordings 1982-1983
Artist: 10,000 Maniacs
Composer(s): Robert Buck, Natalie Merchant

Lyric:
Greta's cedar hope chest
Is full of pamphlets
Glass shelves of romantic vignettes
A journal laced with sedimentary prose

Norma gathers and collects vintage photoplays
Hair combs valentines

Lillian allows the animals to scratch
Leather crack
Mail collect in the box coatings peel

Agnes veiled cathedral dweller
Smiles with benevolent pain
It's Katrina's fair Tuesday morning
As she with caution unlatches the flat door
She alone cascades to the basement
Careful not to spoil her
Calico printed pinafore
Composite traits mannerists
All others dissipate

Marguerite vigilant dwells upon frigid casements

Sarah's thoughts in the velocity
Accusations always pierce and pass

Clara abandons her passions for distastes
Miss Lenora p. Sinclair
Early for coffee in the pool
"I'm resituating all your words"
Capital
Space
Colon
Paragraph

Sylvia keeps beasts in jars labeled
Kingdom phylum class order family genus species
