Heaven Knows

I see the water, I see the drain, drain, drain Reflections going underground, and coming round again So many circles, where do they end, what, why, and how? So, I rode the rivers, I search (sailed?) the sea, sea, se-as Jumped off all the waterfalls, rowed gently down the stream In all the mirrors and salty dreams And almost drowned: When I die, then what will I see When I lose my body, what will I be Will the earth take back my last heartbeat and my bones Will I lay there, stuck in the ground Will a worm then take me into her mouth (Wanda) Will I turn into a perfect seed for a rose... oh, heaven knows. I found the flowers in the spring, spring, spring Tried all the things that poets dream and singers seem to sing Lived through the summer, feeling free, but leaves turn brown When I die, then what will I see When I lose my body, what will I be Will the earth take back my last heartbeat and my bones Will I lay there, stuck in the ground Will a worm then take me into her mouth (Wanda) Will I turn into a perfect seed for a rose... oh, heaven knows. I made a baby, taught her to breathe, breathe, breathe Read her every book I had, jumped on trampolines Until we laid there, wondering into the clouds She sang: When I die, then what will I see When I'm gone, daddy, what will I be Will the earth take back my last heartbeat and my bones Will I lay without a sound Will a worm then take me into her mouth (Wanda) Will a bird then pluck us out of the ground Take me for a ride in the clouds Drop me where the winding river flows... oh, heaven knows.
