Like Dying Lyrics

It feels a little like dying

Sitting here in the shade of a tree

This elm has lived far longer than I

I wonder if it knows

It feels a little like dying

Watching children play in the water

I have lived far longer than them

I wonder, do they know?

It feels a little like dying

The sun is poking through the leaves

The leaves are green but will turn soon

I wonder, do they know?

It feels a little like dying

The bark is pressed into my back

It'll be another layer soon

I wonder if it knows

It feels a little like dying

The ants on my arms and legs

Curiosity is engrained in their soul

I wonder, do they know?

It feels a little like dying

Sitting here in the shade of a tree

This elm has lived far longer than I

I wonder if it knows
