Kyle Thompson: Music

INTO THE WIND
By Kyle Thompson

WHEN I DIE…DON’T BURY ME…
SCATTER ME INTO THE WIND…
RAISE MY BODY…AND KISS ME GOODBYE…
UNTIL THE DAY…I WILL LOVE YOU AGAIN

WHEN I DIE…DON’T BURY ME…
DOWN INTO THE COLD HARD GROUND…
TO LEAVE ME TO LIE…ALONE IN A GRAVE…
AS THE WORLD TURNS AROUND AND AROUND

WHEN I DIE…DON’T BURY ME…
BURN MY REMAINS AND A SONG…
AND TAKE MY ASHES TO THE TOP OF A HILL…
AND LET THE WIND BLOW ME SOFTLY BACK HOME

FOR WHAT IS IN A CASKET…
BUT BONES AND DECAY…
AND WHAT IS A NAME ON A STONE?
TAKE MY ASHES TO THE TOP OF A HILL…
AND LET THE WIND BLOW ME SOFTLY BACK HOME

WHEN I DIE…DON’T BURY ME…
TO ROT IN MY OLD SUNDAY CLOTHES…
DUST MY SOUL TO THE OAKS AND THE PINES…
WHERE THE SMOKE OF THE CIVIL WAR BLOWS

FOR WHAT IS IN A CASKET…
BUT BONES AND DECAY…
AND WHO WAS THE NAME ON THAT STONE?
TAKE MY ASHES TO THE TOP OF A HILL…
AND LET THE WIND BLOW ME SOFTLY BACK HOME…

LET THE WIND BLOW ME SOFTLY BACK HOME…

LET THE WIND BLOW ME SOFTLY… ALONE
