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, 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, 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.

Free me, 'n' give me the beautiful silence at last.
