Lyrics
Drop
Remember me
Remember me
Verse 1
Old stone gate at the edge of the pine
I carved your name with a broken knife
The reeds bent low when the wind came through
Carried my voice out over the blue
I counted the fires on the far hillside
Seven small flames and none of them mine
Pre-Chorus
Hold the smoke
Hold the smoke
Let it climb
Let it climb
Chorus
Remember me
When the drums go quiet
Remember me
When the horns all fade
Remember me
I was here I was here I was here
Remember me
Post-Chorus
Hey-ya hey-ya
Hey-ya hey-ya
Verse 2
My grandmother sang to the river gods
Salt on her hands and a marigold
She said the dead don't leave the ground
They turn to wind and they hang around
So I keep a bowl by the eastern door
In case you wander back for more
Pre-Chorus
Hold the smoke
Hold the smoke
Let it climb
Let it climb
Chorus
Remember me
When the drums go quiet
Remember me
When the horns all fade
Remember me
I was here I was here I was here
Remember me
Post-Chorus
Hey-ya hey-ya
Hey-ya hey-ya
Breakdown
(Long low call)
Come home come home
(Long low call)
Come home come home
Bridge
Clap clap the hands of the village
Clap clap the hands of the young
Clap clap for the ones we buried
Clap clap for the song unsung
Chorus
Remember me
When the drums go quiet
Remember me
When the horns all fade
Remember me
I was here I was here I was here
Remember me
Post-Chorus
Hey-ya hey-ya
Hey-ya hey-ya
Chorus
Remember me
Remember me
Remember me
Remember me
Outro
Hey-ya hey-ya
(Remember me)
