Bury me down
In a sea of faces
From different lives
And far away places
Now lay me
Down on my side

Bury me down
Under a Paperbark tree
That bends and shakes
In a fresh summer breeze
Now lay me
Facing the sky

Chorus:
Oh, babe it's not gonna change
Oh, baby it's too late
I'm on my way

Bury me down
In the cool brown earth
Let the rain trickle down
And wash away the dirt
Now lay me
And let me rest

'Cause I've lived longer
Than all kinds of people
And I've stood tall
Like an old church steeple
Now baby
It's time to die

Chorus
