Burn my body in the nothern field
and let the wind blow the ashes around
Then you will know that my wounds have been healed
'cause Lord I'll be homeward bound
Let the flames warm your hands
let the glow light your way
These gifts to you I bestow
No one's listening don't bother to pray
if you do I'll never know
Up and up the smoke will roll
like a cloud of frightened crows
carry my not so immortal soul
up between the rows
Some words that are said can cut like a saw
and my ears nearly bled at the sound
I can't help prepare for the springtime thaw
'cause Lord I'll be homeward bound
When frost turns to flowers and they all start to bloom
and there's nothing left to hold
tip one back and sing me a tune
and never let the fire grow cold
8. Our Paths Will Cross Again
Song Lyrics
Our paths will cross again someday
Our paths will cross again someday
Though we may go our seperate ways
Our paths will cross again someday
Oh father, departed father
Oh your soul lives in me
I finally understand it, I'm finally beginning to see
Oh mother, departed mother
Oh how we missed you so
You had a heart like no other
Oh we hated to see you go
Oh lover, my dear lover
Oh though we had to part
Oh I know that a piece of you
Will live inside my heart
and let the wind blow the ashes around
Then you will know that my wounds have been healed
'cause Lord I'll be homeward bound
Let the flames warm your hands
let the glow light your way
These gifts to you I bestow
No one's listening don't bother to pray
if you do I'll never know
Up and up the smoke will roll
like a cloud of frightened crows
carry my not so immortal soul
up between the rows
Some words that are said can cut like a saw
and my ears nearly bled at the sound
I can't help prepare for the springtime thaw
'cause Lord I'll be homeward bound
When frost turns to flowers and they all start to bloom
and there's nothing left to hold
tip one back and sing me a tune
and never let the fire grow cold
