Lay My Body beaneath the Pine Lyrics

I've been to Southeast Asia

I've seen the Parthenon

I've seen the rolling hills

Of green old Ireland

But of everywhere I've roamed

No place compares to home

So when I find

The end of my time

Lay my body beneath a pine

On a Colorado mountainside

I'm asking of you, please

When I rest in peace

I want my flesh to feed

The trees that sang to me

Let the mountain lions clean my bones

As I return to home

Yes, when I find

The end of my time

Lay my body beneath a pine

On a Colorado mountainside

Let the sun moving through the blue

Shine its light on me

With the plains stretched to the east

As far as you can see

I want the columbines to grow

From my forever home

So when I find

The end of my time

Lay my body beneath a pine

On a Colorado mountainside
