Box of Cedar

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Seven winters past and gone I once was young and I once was strong [Refrain] Shall I be? I'll be, I'll be [Verse 2] Six fine times I've felt my knees Buckle to your sweet release [Refrain] Shall I be? I'll be, I'll be [Verse 3] Five times tried to conjure you A letter or a note or clue [Refrain] Shall I be? I'll be, I'll be [Chorus] I'm going to tell everybody I know that I'm glad to see you And I'm going to tell everybody I know that I'm glad to see you Even though you're comin' home in a box of cedar [Verse 4] For four years, you courted I, your raven hair, your brittle bride [Refrain] Shall I be? I'll be, I'll be [Verse 5] Three more times I tried to find A lover to match your sweet kind [Refrain] Shall I be? I'll be, I'll be [Chorus] And I'm going to tell everybody I know that I'm glad to see you And I'm going to tell everybody I know that I'm glad to see you Even though you're comin' home in a box of cedar [Bridge; Wordless Vocalizing] [Verse 6] What am I to fill these rooms? I'll make it warm to the drone of doom [Refrain] Shall I be? I'll be, I'll be [Verse 1] Seven winters past and gone I once was young and I once was strong [Refrain] Shall I be? I'll be, I'll be
