Oh bury me & sing to the seeds Oh bury me & sing to the seeds
At least I can't say I didn't hazard a try To embellish my joys
There will be no moment of silence when I die Only a moment of noise
Oh carry me & we'll swing through the reeds Oh carry me & we'll swing through the reeds
When they stand round my grave, maybe they'll say, He sang when he swayed & laughed when he prayed? & as they file past the gate All wrapped up in faith Having questioned their fate They will try to be late
