|
I'll go whichever way the winds blow |
|
It's hard to swim against the tide |
|
The willow bends in a tornado |
|
The oak will shatter as it dies |
|
|
|
Save me, and give me the peace to surrender at last |
|
|
|
When I'm gone, do this thing for me |
|
For this is my final day, and you know I would not joke |
|
So bury me in willow, not in oak |
|
Give me no standard, no eulogy |
|
No red, white and blue, no sceptre and no cloak |
|
Just bury me in willow, not in oak |
|
|
|
A life of conflict was unending |
|
Collision, damage, disarray |
|
So blind, intolerant, unbending |
|
Just let me die a different way |
|
|
|
Free me, 'n' give me the beautiful silence at last |
|
|
|
When I'm gone, do this thing for me |
|
For this is my final day, and you know I would not joke |
|
So bury me in willow, not in oak |
|
Give me no standard, no eulogy |
|
No red, white and blue, no sceptre and no cloak |
|
Just bury me in willow, not in oak |
