lyrics

Stack it all under the chokecherry tree
ready to go, ready to go
White petaled honeysweet memories
ready to go in the morning

Annie Dillard, Thoreau, Guides for the field
words overgrown till the path is concealed
Lay them all down 'neath the chokecherry tree
Lay down...

Slinky thin nighties for a 20 year old
Ready to go, ready to go
a fabric so threadbare the nights become cold
Ready to go in the morning

Rickety ladders, tired old tools
level and square – you built by the rules
Lay them all down 'neath the chokecherry tree
Lay down...

Pennies from Europe and silk from Japan
Ready to go, ready to go
clutched to your heart then released from your hands
Ready to go in the morning

Wheelbarrow roll, lighten my weight
Goodbye to the good to make room for the great...
Then lay in the shade of the chokecherry tree
Lay down

Stack it all under the chokecherry tree
ready to go ready to go
