Promise me, you"ll bury me
Among the beauty, by the trees
Restless green, growing free
Envy I will never see
But how can I, scared to die
Bite my lip and bid goodbye?
Oh the drink I had that day
It made me feel alive
It made me feel oh so alive!
And the bark will read my name
Bury me, bury me
Among the beauty by the trees
Not much to me, in words of wealth
Lest the boatman tax my health
Take key from the shelf
Save this poor man from himself
Oh the joy I had alone
Climbing as a child, I had my own
And oh among the drinks I had that day
They made me feel alive
They made me feel oh so alive!
Among the beauty, by the trees
Restless green, growing free
Envy I will never see
But how can I, scared to die
Bite my lip and bid goodbye?
Oh the drink I had that day
It made me feel alive
It made me feel oh so alive!
And the bark will read my name
Bury me, bury me
Among the beauty by the trees
Not much to me, in words of wealth
Lest the boatman tax my health
Take key from the shelf
Save this poor man from himself
Oh the joy I had alone
Climbing as a child, I had my own
And oh among the drinks I had that day
They made me feel alive
They made me feel oh so alive!
