Bury Me Where I Fall by Joseph Huber Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, the road has traveled far to me
And the rain has fallen a long way
To scatter upon the doorstep
And wrap upon my brain

But not a soul is skin and bones
There's wonder o'er these walls
And so, today I leave this place
To bury me where I fall

[Verse 2]
Well, I've feasted fine upon the lamb
And upon my mother's breast
I've been under care of men like me
Who may not want my best

And so I go over trees like ghosts
Where coats of white [are on?] call
For me to leave my hiding place
So bury me where I fall
[Verse 3]
Oh friends are lovers, and lovers, foes
Take heed to what I say
So where I go, a friend may come
But lovers cannot stay

No letter for to bind me well
No number for to call
I have no final resting place
So bury me where I fall

[Verse 4]
Oh yes, I know the life I have chose
And it will be my death
But to stay is to turn a life of worth
Into a single breath

The sun now bleeds the setting sky
Swallow's song turns raven's caw
Just throw the dirt over my face
And bury me where I fall
Oh Lord, bury me where I fall
