Carry me light

Like a firefly through the by-and-by

A song for when I go"

Something sad and slow

A song for when I go"

Home smells just like cinnamon and the sad  passing of time  
Dm                        C
Mama always smelled like rose
Dm                       C
Papa always smelled like motor oil

One more time with feeling 'til we turn to soil
