William Elliott Whitmore - Burn My Body lyrics

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
