All The Very Best Of Us

You’re all welcome
To take from me
My skeleton
I’ll keep for me
And all the very best of us
String ourselves up
For love
And all the very best of us
String the needles
Till our eyes shut
Weary yonder
Beyond the call
Lately I don’t feel
The wonder
Until our eyes are shut
And oh
Until our child has grown up and over
Until the time
Oh
Until our garden goes
To bramble and briar
Until I sit, I stop, I sigh
Until my body
Comes over quiet
I will give you
Myth in the mire
Over grown
And I will grow you
Bramble and briar
And all the very best of us
