This Is Me

from Mostly True? by Uncle Hauk

lyrics

There was a time when I wanted to be
There was a time when I wanted to see
There was a time when I hung on a tree
That was me

I wandered the beaches and found an elm tree
I wandered the beaches and found an ash tree
I carved from them people and let them go free
That was me

Better than whiskey are words from the wise
Better than diamonds the look in her eyes
Better that gold, better than blue skies
What I see when I look in her eyes

I swore my oaths and I will share my mead
I swore my oaths and I still feel your deeds
I swore my oaths and my heart still bleeds
That is me

I watched the sun rise across all the land
I watched the sun rise, held it in my hands
I watched the sun rise where my sons grave stands
That was me

Let not the grass grow on the path between friends
Trample a clear path, the grass always bends
My path is where the grass ends
There I’ll be
