Together & Down - Benoît Pioulard

Oh bury me & sing to the seeds

Oh bury me & sing to the seeds

At least I can’t say I didn’t hazard a try

To embellish my joys

There will be no moment of silence when I die

Only a moment of noise

Oh carry me & we’ll swing through the reeds

Oh carry me & we’ll swing through the reeds

When they stand round my grave, maybe they’ll say,

«He sang when he swayed & laughed when he prayed»

& as they file past the gate

All wrapped up in faith

Having questioned their fate

They will try to be late
