Naked As We Came

She says wake up it’s no use pretending
I keep stealing, breathing her
Birds are leaving over autumns ending
One of us will die inside these arms
Eyes wide open
Naked as we came
One will spread our
Ashes around the yard
She says if I leave before you die then
Don’t you waste me in the ground
I lay smiling like our sleeping children
One of us will die inside these arms
Eyes wide open
Naked as we came
One will spread our
Ashes around the yard
