lyrics

Shaking every last penny
Out of that beloved corpse
Always putting that same old saddle
On every unbroken horse
Tell them to keep the money
I ain’t taking it with me
Tonight or later
Now or ever
I have no needs

So forgive me
If I don’t shake hands
With the organ harvester
When he comes to collect

I’ve been digging up tools
I’ve been wearing out grooves
I’ve been taking my lessons
On carving this heaven
Deep into wood
We’ll cut out a place
We’ll be happy to live in
We’ll smooth out the edges
With nickels and clothes pins
And spread out the stain

So forgive me
If I don’t shake hands
With the organ harvester
When he comes to collect

Because these days don’t wait
These things won’t change
We could give ourselves new names
And we’d still be the same

So forgive me
If I don’t shake hands
With the organ harvester
When he comes to collect

Because these days don’t wait
These things won’t change
We could give ourselves new names
And we’d still be the same

So forgive me
Just forgive me
Please forgive me
