Lyrics

BURY ME IN THE SKY

Let the winds come and carry
Let the clouds roll on by
Let your tears be temporary
Look for me six miles high
Bury me in the sky

Dressed in black you'll come together
To bid your last sweet goodbye
Just remember when you gather
Look for me six miles high
Bury me in the sky

Under our feet
Over our heads
Sewn with heaven's silver thread

Ashes to dust
Wings are aflame
Heaven is calling out my name

When I go let it be joyful
Let there be peace when I die
Let my soul complete the circle
Look for me six miles high
Bury me in the sky
Look for me six miles high
Bury me in the sky
