Six Feet Under

In the blue of an Indian summer
In a voice that wasn’t quite clear
I heard the trees reply to the whispering wind
Too fleeting to hear
And the shadow that standing before you
A shadow of what you used to know
Buried ‘neath so many autumns
Six feet under, six feet below

I’ve fallen behind in my living
And I’ve lost all that I had to show
Can a seed still find sure footing
Six feet under, six feet below
And the shadow that’s standing before you
A shadow of what you used to know
Buried ‘neath so many autumns
Six feet under, six feet below

And the shadow that’s standing before you
Naked and freezing and slow
Finds hope in the whispers of autumn
And the promise of things yet to show
Six feet under, six feet below
