Burn my body in the Northern Field

Let the wind blow the ashes around

And then you will know that my wounds have been healed

Cause Lord I'll be homeward bound

Let the flames warm your hands

Let the glow light your way

These gifts to you I bestow

And noones listenin don't bother to pray

If you do lord I'll never know

Well up and up the smoke will roll

Like a cloud of frightened crows

To Carry my not so immortal soul

Up between the rows

Up between the rows

Burn my body in the Northern Field

Let the wind blow the ashes around

And then you will know that my wounds have been healed

Cause lord I'll be homeward bound

Oh lord I'll be homeward bound

Some words that are said can cut like a saw

My ears nearly bled at the sound

And I cant help prepare for the springtime thaw

cause lord ill be homeward bound

And the frost turns to flowers

and they all start to bloom

and theres nothin left to hoe

well tip one back and sing me a tune

And never let the fire grow cold

Never let the fire grow cold

Burn my body in the Northern Field

Let the wind blow the ashes around

And then you will know that my wounds have been healed

Cause lord I'll be homeward bound

Oh lord I'll be homeward bound
