Bury me please in the Puget Sound There'll be waves as shackles a'holdin' me down There'll be no struggle nor shameful whisper of doubt Just bury me please in the Sound Let me down peacefully on the rocks Let the tide roll over and carry my thoughts Hundreds of miles between me and any other dock So let me down please on the rocks I never learned how to write you the way that I wanted Your ending was one I had not foreseen Feeding the hope when you know it's what you don't need So I'll sit alone and wait for the sea To bury me Follow me please to where summers lay Where the waves stay steady and crash through the day Life with no clock is a life that keeps you at bay So follow me where summers lay I never learned how to paint you the way that I wanted Your colors seeped into the trees My canvas, blank, conveniently left you in August So I'll sit alone and wait for the sea To bury me
