about

Folksy rumination on death

lyrics

Bury me in the highlands when my time has come.
Bury me in the highlands for that's always been my home.

In the shadow of those ancient cliffs
As the evening fog rolls in
A song will rise up from those lonesome pines
As holy and as pure as any hymn.

Bury me in the highlands once I've thrown off this mortal coil.
Bury me in the highlands to become one with my native soil.

To sleep forever 'neath those cypress boughs
Where the four winds call my name
With a headstone of forget-me-nots
Keeping watch til nothing else remains.

Bury me in the highlands when I'm finally laid to rest.
Bury me in the highlands for that's the place that loved me best.
