Hickory, oak, pine and weed
Bury my heart underneath these trees
And when a southern wind comes to raise my soul
Spread my spirit like a flock of crowsCause I've loved you for too long
I've loved you for too long
I've loved you for too longOld heat of a raging fire
Come and light my eyes
Summer's kiss to electric wire
But I'll never dieSicamore, ash, moss and gnome
Wrap my roots all around my bones
And when they come for me
When they call my name
Cast my shadow from a bellow's flameCause I've loved you for too long
I've loved you for too long
I've loved you for too long(So let the storm come)Old heat of a raging fire
Come and light my eyes
Summer's kiss to electric wire
But I'll never die
I will never dieYou can bury my body but I'll never dieIn the dead of the night
(in the dead of the night)
I'm gonna loose this chain
(I'm gonna loose this chain)
I'm gonna run and run and run and run and run
(Sing on sister)
I'm gonna run and run and run and run and run
I'm coming for you again
(Oh I'm coming for you again)Oh
So let the storm comeOld heat of a raging fire
Come and light my eyes
Summer's kiss to electric wire
But I'll never die
I will never die
You can bury my body but I'll never dieHickory, oak, pine and weed
Bury my heart underneath these trees
