Iron and Wine + Calexico: "Dead Man's Will"

Give this stone to my brother
Cause we found it playing in the barnyard
Many years ago

Give this bone to my father
He'll remember hunting in the hills
When I was 10 years old

May my love reach you all
I locked it in myself and buried it too long
Now that I come to fall
Please say it's not too late
Now that I'm dead and gone

Give this string to my mother
It pulled the baby teeth she keeps inside the drawer
Give this ring to my lover
I was scared and stupid not to ask
For her hand long before

May my love reach you all
I locked in it myself and buried it too long
Now that I come to fall
Please say it's not too late
Now that I'm dead and gone

(BTW TripleH - "How Insensitive" is originally an Antonio Carlos Jobim tune)

This is the right answer, I believe it is about his dead son.

This is not close to the saddest song to me... it is a good song but a bit cheesy for my tastes

and anyone singing the old standard "I'll be seeing you". beautiful song, incredibly sad lyrics.

[/ QUOTE ]

As I understand it this song was written to be sung by a woman whose love has gone off to war.

Ill be seeing you;
In all the old, familiar places;
That this heart of mine embraces;
All day through.

In that small cafe;
The park across the way;
The childrens carousel;
The chestnut tree;
The wishing well.

Ill be seeing you;
In every lovely, summers day;
And everything thats bright and gay;
Ill always think of you that way;
Ill find you in the morning sun;
And when the night is new;
Ill be looking at the moon;
But Ill be seeing you.

Yeah the whole Final Cut album is depressing. Im not a fun of it beside "not now john". GUnners dream aswell as a few other off that album would deff qualify for this list.
