Leave a Letter - Kaurna Cronin

When I die

I hope you won’t be

mourning and speaking through tears of my name

I hope and trust that you’ll remember

all we had down memory lane

When I die I start to wonder

will I be wise and unfazed by fear

If so, i’ll go with grace to the ground

and no, there will be no tears

When I die

go leave a letter in my grave

that tells me all you never told me

and ill write back one day

When I die

please go collecting

all the lies that I have told

and tie to them to stones that are sinking

too waters dark and cold

When I die

please don’t remember

all the lines I crossed inside your mind

and don’t forget the silence

that followed every time

When I die

go leave a letter in my grave

that tells me all you never told me

and i’ll write back one day

When I die

Don’t show my children

the grave they dug to keep me all alone

and tell them not to stand above me

'cause Im not there

forever I’m at home

When I die

go leave a letter in my grave

that tells me all you never told me

and i’ll write back one day
