Asia - Bury Me In Willow lyrics

I'll go whichever way the winds blow It's hard to swim against the tide The willow bends in a tornado The oak will shatter as it dies Save me, and give me the peace to surrender at last When I'm gone do this thing for me For this is my final day, you know I would not joke So bury me in willow, not in oak Give me no standard, no eulogy No red, white and blue, no sceptre and no cloak Just bury me in willow, not in oak A life of conflict was unending Collision, damage, disarray So blind, intolerant, unbending Just let me die a different way Free me, and give me the peace to surrender at last When I'm gone, do this thing for me For this is my final day, and you know I would not joke So bury me in willow, not in oak Give me no standard, no eulogy No red, white and blue, no sceptre and no cloak Just bury me in willow, not in oak When I'm gone do this thing for me For this is my final day, you know I would not joke So bury me in willow, not in oak Give me no standard, no eulogy No red, white and blue, no sceptre and no cloak Just bury me in willow, not in oak Free me, 'n' give me the beautiful silence at last
