Iron & Wine Dead Man's Will

get this stone to my brother
‘cause we found it playin’ in the barnyard many years ago
get this bone to my father,
he’ll remember huntin’ in the hills when i was ten years old

may my love reach you all
i locked it myself and buried it too long
now that i’ve come to fall
please say it’s not too late now that i’m dead and gone

get this string to my mother,
it pulled the baby teeth she keeps inside the drawer
get this ring to my lover,
i was scared and stupid not to ask for hand long before

dah, dah, dah …
