alice rose lyn - requiem for anna jean lyrics

Loading...

[verse}
anna jean born cesarean in nineteen ninety three
walked into the loving arms of jesus at seventeen
preceded in death by grandpa johnny and granny bea
survived by the rest of her extended family tree

[chorus]
an old cedar shelters her grave
of that girl nothin’s left to save
but bits of dress and broken bone
the last seeds of a girl unsown

[verse]
anna jean lays on her back, her hands and arms at her sides
inside a cushy coffin of rose huеd pine she residеs
encased in a concrete vault, six feet under sodden ground
four tons of clay and stone and soil pressing down, down, down

[chorus]
an old cedar shelters her grave
of that girl nothin’s left to save
but bits of dress and broken bone
the last seeds of a girl unsown

[verse]
anna’s sinew and muscle wither and waste all away
gone are the dancer’s thighs and calves honed by hours of ballet
embalming fluid and thick makeup can’t stop the decay
even the white lilies on her grave have begun to gray
[chorus]
an old cedar shelters her grave
of that girl nothin’s left to save
but bits of dress and broken bone
the last seeds of a girl unsown

[verse]
just calluses remain and the stitches in her torn breast
freckled skin spotted dark in the shreds of a mottled dress
between her front t++th that lovely little gap still appears
but it will vanish after the passing of ten more years

[chorus]
an old cedar shelters her grave
of that girl nothin’s left to save
but bits of dress and broken bone
the last seeds of a girl unsown

[verse]
crack, snap, the cedar roots crumble her tiny pine coffin
from above the dirt and rock and insects and rain leach in
dissolving her bones and the last tatters of her fair skin
in the harsh rains even the name on her gravestone wears thin

[chorus]
an old cedar shelters her grave
of that girl nothin’s left to save
but bits of dress and broken bone
the last seeds of a girl unsown
[verse]
but every part of anna jean will become something new
rough cedar bark and blades of grass covered in morning dew
dandelion fluff scattered through hills evergreen and skies blue
fields of golden flowers growing as anna jean once grew

[chorus]
an old cedar shelters her grave
of that girl nothin’s left to save
but bits of dress and broken bone
the last seeds of a girl unsown
