lyrics

I’ve been to Southeast Asia
I’ve seen the Parthenon
I’ve seen the rolling hills
Of green old Ireland
But of everywhere I’ve roamed
No place compares to home
So when I find
The end of my time
Lay my body beneath a pine
On a Colorado mountainside

I’m asking of you, please
When I rest in peace
I want my flesh to feed
The trees that sang to me
Let the mountain lions clean my bones
As I return to home
Yes, when I find
The end of my time
Lay my body beneath a pine
On a Colorado mountainside

Let the sun moving through the blue
Shine its light on me
With the plains stretched to the east
As far as you can see
I want the columbines to grow
From my forever home
So when I find
The end of my time
Lay my body beneath a pine
On a Colorado mountainside
