john lucas - boys if you find my body - home version lyrics

[verse 1]
boys if you find my body
take all that you could need
i was naked when i came kickin’
and naked i will proceed

[verse 2]
let my boots keep on walkin’
if a man is shivering let him take my coat
take my pen and take my paper
for all the letters to be wrote

[verse 3]
on my right you’ll find my timepiece
though it ain’t held the time for years
but time is a young man’s drink
these days i’m sober in my fears

[verse 4]
but leave my rifle in the dirt here
of this god+forsaken land
i ain’t seen god in any foxholes
but i’ve heard his weeping in the wind

[chorus]
boys if you find my body
tell my darling i’m coming home
boys if you find my body
tell my darling i’m coming home
[verse 5]
birds if you find my body
i’ve heard to go first for the eyes
i offer them with grace
for they have seen the world’s delights

[verse 6]
and as a blind man i’ll go stumbling
towards the weeping in the wind
for joy comes in the morning
and peace at sorrow’s end

[verse 7]
and like a mystic i will find you
when there is nothing left of me
when my body is forever missing
like that man nailed to a tree

[verse 8]
and when i’m gone i’ll be the weeping
when i’m gone i’ll be the morn
when i’m gone i’ll be the body
of a baby bloodied and just born

[chorus]
oh earth if you find my body
take all that you could need
oh earth if you find my body
let my body be a seed
