Worm In Heaven

So it's time to say goodbye

I was never too keen on last words

Hope I said something good

The grass has grown over me long before now

Hope you walk through life with a smile

Keep a knife in your purse

Be as needed as the nail

As neat as the pin

Stick into things

Stab into things

I wish you well, I do

May you find peace in this world

And when it's over

Dissolve without pain

I am the worm in heaven

So close to grace

I could lick it off of the boot heels of the blessed

I am the worm in heaven

After my life

They have me living out in the foothills

Cleaning the gilded gutters

I am the worm in heaven

Remember me, how I lived

I was frightened

Always frightened

I did exist, I did, I was here, I am

And what I left behind could never be a simple kind

I exist, I did

I exist, I did

I was here

I was

or

Never was
