I Will Never Die

Hickory, oak, pine, and weed
Bury my heart underneath these trees
And when a southern wind comes to raise my soul
Spread my spirit like a flock of crows
Cause I loved you for too long
I loved you for too long
I loved you for too long
Old heat of a raging fire
Come and light my eyes
Summer’s kiss to electric wire
But I’ll never die
Sycamore, ash, moss, and loam
Wrap your roots all around my bones
And when they come for me, when they call my name
Cast my shadow from a bellow’s flame
(So let the storm come)
Old heat of a raging fire
Come and light my eyes
Summer’s kiss to electric wire
But I’ll never die
I will never die
You can bury my body, but I’ll never die
In the dead of night
(In the dead of night)
I’m gonna loose these chains
(I'm gonna loose these chains)
I’m gonna run and run and run and run and run
(Sing on, sister)
I’m gonna run and run and run and run
I’m coming for you again
(Oh, I’m coming for you again)
So let the storm come
Old heat of a raging fire
Come and light my eyes
Summer’s kiss to electric wire
But I’ll never die
I will never die
You can bury my body, but I’ll never die
Hickory, oak, pine, and weed
Bury my heart underneath these trees
