I was driving down the road the other day Looked to the right, saw a graveyard full of graves By a dozen graves, people mourned the dead By a dozen graves, flowers bowed their heads. I guess we've all got to go there some day I guess we all just pass away Without a clue what we leave behind But I don't want that wearing on my mind when I feel like I'm dying... Chorus: 'Cause I don't want to die thinking about the promises that I made And I don't want broken people staring at my broken grave All I want to leave behind me are some happy memories And when I die, well I wish they'd bury me at sea. Don't want no tombstone on my grave To remind all the people that I've gone away It only concentrates on my death And I hope to God that's not the only thing left when I take my last breath...
(Chorus) |
Bridge: Maybe it's too much to ask... Maybe it's too hard a task... But I don't want to die and go to heaven... Only to look down and see you crying to me... crying for me... crying for me... staring at my grave. So if you give me to the ocean blue And stare out at the ocean like we used to Don't think of ashes or dust to dust Just know I'm with you more now than I ever was... (Chorus) 'Cause I don't want you thinking about all of the promises that I made And I don't want to see you break down and cry staring at my broken grave. All I want you to remember are our happy memories 'Cause when I die... well, I wish you would bury me at sea. ©1989 James (Gary) Geniesse |
