If I Die Before You
Cremate my remains
Taking a handful and
Scattering me
Into a running stream
For I am water
Taking me in hand
Scattering me
Into the woods
For you are earth
And where I feel at home
Scatter a palm full of me
Into the wind
So you know
Breathe of love
Is always near
Scatter me
Into the fire
For our Flame is high
And I will return
Unto you again
And again my love
Taking a handful and
Scattering me
Into a running stream
For I am water
Taking me in hand
Scattering me
Into the woods
For you are earth
And where I feel at home
Scatter a palm full of me
Into the wind
So you know
Breathe of love
Is always near
Scatter me
Into the fire
For our Flame is high
And I will return
Unto you again
And again my love
