YOUR ROOTS IN MY GRAVE

If I ever die, come to my grave to bestow blossoms And add grief to condolencing customs I’ll embrace your flowers, because I never did, being alive Or I should say, your flowers waited for my death to arrive My heart does not desire to see you wail Not even God will hear your rail Come and plant the flowers on my grave Water them, if you want my afterlife to be brave.
