From what they said in a live performance of this song. Kenneth was diagnosed of cancer and wrote this song after that. I'm glad that he overcame such a brutal obstacle
Lyrics I lose sleep at night like a young Man who's in the fight of his young life I have never known the way the wind would blow if everything were fine I'm scared that when I die I'll be Alone with no one sitting by my side No, I do not think that I could be alone when I die Lay me down in the ground Put me back into the earth Among all of my friends Under a blanket of roses A sea of flowers overhead A field outside of Nashville pitches color to the dreariness of day So the air hangs soft and tender, Blowin' 'round my thoughts whichever way Where hills, They rise for miles and miles, I recognize the cryin' in the wind I hear people come from everywhere To say goodbye sweet-like to their kin Lay me down in the ground, put me back into the earth Among all of my friends under a blanket of roses A sea of flowers overhead That is right, I don't believe anymore than skies above It's just me and those I've loved under a blanket of roses A sea of flowers overhead When I die
They make the process of indulging in depressing thoughts more beautiful and melancholic.

Lyrics
I lose sleep at night like a young
Man who's in the fight of his young life
I have never known the way the wind would blow if everything were fine
I'm scared that when I die I'll be
Alone with no one sitting by my side
No, I do not think that I could be alone when I die
Lay me down in the ground
Put me back into the earth
Among all of my friends
Under a blanket of roses
A sea of flowers overhead
A field outside of Nashville pitches color to the dreariness of day
So the air hangs soft and tender,
Blowin' 'round my thoughts whichever way
Where hills,
They rise for miles and miles, I recognize the cryin' in the wind
I hear people come from everywhere
To say goodbye sweet-like to their kin
Lay me down in the ground, put me back into the earth
Among all of my friends under a blanket of roses
A sea of flowers overhead
That is right, I don't believe anymore than skies above
It's just me and those I've loved under a blanket of roses
A sea of flowers overhead
When I die
This is absolutely wonderful. Thank you.
Just the music you wanna listen to when You're alone and enjoy the lonesomeness
I always enjoy your work - artistry
