Bury Me In Willow - Asia

I’ll go whichever way the winds blow

It’s hard to swim against the tide

The willow bends in a tornado

The oak will shatter as it dies

Save me, and give me the peace to surrender at last

When I’m gone do this thing for me

For this is my final day, you know I would not joke

So bury me in willow, not in oak

Give me no standard, no eulogy

No red, white and blue, no sceptre and no cloak

Just bury me in willow, not in oak

A life of conflict was unending

Collision, damage, disarray

So blind, intolerant, unbending

Just let me die a different way

Free me, and give me the peace to surrender at last

When I’m gone, do this thing for me

For this is my final day, and you know I would not joke

So bury me in willow, not in oak

Give me no standard, no eulogy

No red, white and blue, no sceptre and no cloak

Just bury me in willow, not in oak

When I’m gone do this thing for me

For this is my final day, you know I would not joke

So bury me in willow, not in oak

Give me no standard, no eulogy

No red, white and blue, no sceptre and no cloak

Just bury me in willow, not in oak

Free me, 'n' give me the beautiful silence at last
