The Parting Song
When I die just let me burn
Gather my ashes, put them in an urn
And leave them on the mantelpiece
When the angels come for you
Can you tell the others to burn you too?
So we can go together
Tell the lawyers and the family too
This is what they've gotta do
It's what I want
It's what she wants
It's what we want
Wherever I go, she will follow
Wait for a fine spring day
The kind of day that makes you sway
And take us to the ocean
Throw us from the highest place
And let us sail with grace
As the tide is turning
This is what you've gotta do
Don't let them mislead you
It's what I want
It's what he wants
It's what we want
Wherever he goes, I will follow
Tell the lawyers and the family too
This is what they have to do
It's what I want
It's what he wants
It's what we both want
Wherever he goes, I will follow
Gather my ashes, put them in an urn
And leave them on the mantelpiece
When the angels come for you
Can you tell the others to burn you too?
So we can go together
Tell the lawyers and the family too
This is what they've gotta do
It's what I want
It's what she wants
It's what we want
Wherever I go, she will follow
Wait for a fine spring day
The kind of day that makes you sway
And take us to the ocean
Throw us from the highest place
And let us sail with grace
As the tide is turning
This is what you've gotta do
Don't let them mislead you
It's what I want
It's what he wants
It's what we want
Wherever he goes, I will follow
Tell the lawyers and the family too
This is what they have to do
It's what I want
It's what he wants
It's what we both want
Wherever he goes, I will follow
