| Hickory, oak, pine, and weed
|
| Bury my heart underneath these trees
|
| And when a southern wind comes to raise my soul
|
| Spread my spirit like a flock of crows
|
| Cause I loved you for too long
|
| I loved you for too long
|
| I loved you for too long
|
| Old heat of a raging fire
|
| Come and light my eyes
|
| Summer’s kiss to electric wire
|
| But I’ll never die
|
| Sycamore, ash, moss, and loam
|
| Wrap your roots all around my bones
|
| And when they come for me, when they call my name
|
| Cast my shadow from a bellow’s flame
|
| (So let the storm come)
|
| Old heat of a raging fire
|
| Come and light my eyes
|
| Summer’s kiss to electric wire
|
| But I’ll never die
|
| I will never die
|
| You can bury my body, but I’ll never die
|
| In the dead of night
|
| (In the dead of night)
|
| I’m gonna loose these chains
|
| (I'm gonna loose these chains)
|
| I’m gonna run and run and run and run and run
|
| (Sing on, sister)
|
| I’m gonna run and run and run and run
|
| I’m coming for you again
|
| (Oh, I’m coming for you again)
|
| So let the storm come
|
| Old heat of a raging fire
|
| Come and light my eyes
|
| Summer’s kiss to electric wire
|
| But I’ll never die
|
| I will never die
|
| You can bury my body, but I’ll never die
|
| Hickory, oak, pine, and weed
|
| Bury my heart underneath these trees |
