Wildflower Bouquet
If I die in the winter send roses In the spring, magnoliasIf I’m called in the summer or in the fall Best of all – bring me a wildflower bouquet In the dirt and clay don’t lay me downAnd stare at a cold lonely hole in the groundWhen I go to my Maker in smoke and ashIt won’t be your grief I craveYour tears will not be necessaryBuild a blazing fire, drink something merryWhen the sparks fly off into the windThat will be me blowing awayBury my ashes with the dogs I’ve lovedMy faithful companions from God aboveAnd ‘neath a sycamore we’ll grow strongAnd the roots will bear us awayIf my one true Love should join me thereMother nature soon will be awareThat sycamore will thrum and singAnd we’ll have left it that way.So I don’t want you to feel sorryLetras de cancionesGod knows how I despise your pityAnd I’ll no longer bear the weight of worryThose angry robes all fall awayI’ll be singing loud and laughing longA blaze of glory and an untold songSo there’s no need for tears my friendJust bring a wildflower bouquetIf I die in the winter send rosesIn the springtime, magnoliasIf I’m called in the summer or in the fallBest of all – bring me a wildflower bouquetBest of all – bring me a wildflower bouquet
