Dirt and stardust

I don't want these walls

To wall me in forever.

Don't wanna make my home unfenced and land.

We can buy our lot.

We can mark our spot.

But we're travelers whether we like it or not.

So please make my castle make out of sand

Ohhh please make my castle out of sand.

I don't want light

That lights forever.

I don't want fire that stays stable

And the wick is lit, it burns a bit

And then it goes out at the end of it

So please don't hang a bulb above my table.

Oohhhh please don't hang a bulb above my table.

Cause

I am made of

All the same stuff

That makes the seasons what they are

I am made of

Dirt and stardust

My daddy's dreams

My mother's heart

Ohhh

Ohhh yeah yeah yeah

Don't want a promise

That outlives the promiser

And my body will not last longer than a metal band

And this tender expanse that's called romance

And like anything great it's riddled with chance

So, please don't put a diamond on my hand.

Ohh please don't put a diamond on my hand.

Hand, cause

I am made of

All the same stuff

That makes the seasons what they are

I am made of

Dirt and stardust

My daddy's dreams

My mother's heart.

Oh my mother's heart

Yeah

Ahhhh Ohhhhh

Ahhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh

I don't want want blooms that bloom forever.

I don't want colors that don't

Fade away.

And pedals open to the sun

And then they wilt when they're all done

So please don't put silk flowers on my grave

Oh please don't put silk flowers on my grave

Grave

Cause

I am made of

All the same stuff

That makes the seasons what they are

I am made of

Dirt and stardust

My daddy's dreams

My mothers heart.

I am made of

All the same stuff

That makes the seasons what they are.

I am made of

Dirt and stardust

My daddy's dreams

My mother's heart.

Oh my mother's heart.

Yeahh yeah yeah yeah yeah

Ohhhh yeah yeah yeah yeah

Ohhhh yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah

Ohhhh yeah yeah yeah

Ohhhhh
