about

in memory of gus eubanks, and for his beautiful family.

lyrics

i’ve been lazy
i’ve been overfed
i’ve been thinking
too much with my head
i was dreaming
about the life you led
on the banks of the edisto

on the banks of the edisto
where the sweet gum and the cypress grows
i want to know what the cypress knows
on the banks of the edisto

where’d you go
when you died my friend
do you see us
did your soul ascend
and i listened
for his answer then
on the banks of the edisto

heaven’s here, where the bard owl cries
where the smile meets my sweetheart’s eyes
i’ll be right here taming dragonflies
only heaven i need to know

on the banks of the edisto
where the sweet gum
and the cypress grows
i want to know what the cypress knows
on the banks of the edisto

i’ve been lazy
i’ve been overfed
i’ve been thinking too much with my head
i’ve been dreaming
about the life you led
on the banks of the edisto
