Bury Me With A Broom Lyrics

There're some folks 'can see in her the angel that she is

She rolls her eyes and slightly smiles, but she won't hear the lies

She's gon' be surprised to find her room reserved in heaven

Been baptized and seen the light, but she don't want to die

If you get her talkin' about the way things used to be

She'll tell you 'bout her paintings and maybe 'bout her dreams

Now those days are fading, 'cause life's made it's demands

There's work that needs its working, she smiles and stands and says

Bury me with a broom, my work is not yet done

My life was giv'n to others and my dreams were gave up on

I'm still working out how to care for folks I love when I'm done living

So bury me with a broom and I'll start cleaning heaven

Her choice was made so long ago, what good is in what might

She knows the way for things to be, and makes sure all is right

Even when she falls asleep, she wakes with slightest sound

No one else is will make things right and that's why she's around

But if you get her talkin' about the way things used to be

She'll tell you 'bout her paintings and maybe about her dreams

Now those days are fading, 'cause life's made it's demands

There's work that needs its working, she smiles and stands and says

Bury me with a broom, my work is not yet done

My life was giv'n to others and my dreams were gave up on

I'm still working out how to care for folks I love when I'm done living

So bury me with a broom and I'll start cleaning heaven

I'll start cleaning heaven

So ask me how she's doing

One day I hope to smile and tell you about a sculpture she welded in the night

Or about how painting flowers, means she's angry with the world

My lady is a dreamer, but she's trading hope for love

But if you get her talkin' about the way things used to be

She'll tell you 'bout her paintings and maybe 'bout her dreams

Now those days are fading, 'cause life's made it's demands

There's work that needs its working, she smiles and stands and says

Bury me with a broom, my work is not yet done

My life was giv'n to others and my dreams were gave up on

I'm still working out how to care for folks I love when I'm done living

So bury me with a broom and I'll start cleaning heaven.

I'll start cleaning heaven

I'll start cleaning heaven
