How Wonderful

How wonderful, how wonderful, would it be to be
Buried hand over hand when the moon’s quarter to three
In the shadow of my favourite tree
How wonderful, how wonderful- my sins have been forgiven!
I didn’t die by my own hand, my sins have been forgiven
They lay now on the burdened son that’s got to go on livin'
How wonderful, how wonderful, never meant for a classy ride
Don’t throw me in a satin box or throw money at goodbyes
I’d rather go just how I came, quite surprised, not a thing to my name
Stopped in the middle of whatever game I was playin'
How wonderful, how wonderful would it be to be
Buried hand over hand when the moon’s quarter to three
In the shadow of my favourite tree-
In the shadow, patiently
