Lyrics

Bury me in the backyard… I don't need… no big tombstone
Bury me in the backyard… In the garden… round our home
You can cry… if you must… Them tears of joy are just a plus
You be like water from above… I'll feed the earth below

Bury me in the backyard… Drop my body in… and let it be
Bury me in the backyard… Cover me up… and plant a tree
And if you still miss me… when you die… Grant me my wish, don't be shy
You can dig a hole and plop your bones… right next to mine

Bury me in the backyard… When I leave… don't make a fuss
Bury me in the backyard… By a berry bush… would be enough
And if the day comes… when you long… to sing with me… that final song
Just lay 'em down and sink your roots… right next to us

Bury me in the backyard… And someday… it may bear fruit
We'll both be buried in the backyard… In a forest… of me and you
With our canopy spreadin' wide… We'll be dancing in the sunlight
Laughing as we shake-off… sweet morning dew
