Bury me down in a sea of faces
From different lives and far away places
Now lay me down on my side
Bury me down under a paperbark tree
That bends and shakes in a fresh summer breeze
Now lay me facing the sky
Oooh babe it's not gonna change
Oohh baby it's too late
I'm on my way
Bury me down in the cool brown earth
Let the rain trickle down, wash away the dirt
Now lay me, let me rest
'Cause I've lived longer then all kinds of people
I stood tall like an old church steeple
Now baby it's time to die
Oooh babe it's not gonna change
Oooh baby it's too late
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
