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
