lyrics

My dearest sweet darling I bid you farewell. Where I am going I wish I could tell you. Lord I wish I could tell, but I don't know myself if its Heaven or Hell. Meet me on high ground way out west. Bring your dancin' shoes, and wear that dress for me. One last time lets spin and twirl. Remember me as I leave this world for the next, that great beyond and burn me up. Consume me fire and burn up my bones. Take me to a higher place where the wind blows for you, for me. The ash it spirals into the sky. It gets higher and higher and higher before I realize that this shell of my life is returning, and I'm yearning to be back inside breathing and dancing and playing, but instead I'm swaying in the tide. I hear you calling my name. I wish I could answer. I wish I could say 'I love you' once more. Consume me fire and burn up my bones. Take me to a higher place where the wind blows, and erect a pyre to burn up my bones for all to see and watch me glow. How can one live and protect themselves from all the evil in this world and still evade the grasp of Hell? A man once told me, be as sharp as a serpent, but as gentle as a lamb. I guess what he means is although we're surrounded by deceit and greed we must be in this world, but not of it. Consume me fire and burn up my bones. Take me to a higher place where the wind blows and erect a pyre to burn up my bones for all to see and watch me glow.
