I won't sleep through 'till morning But I won't wake you when I go I'll fly faster than a sparrow I'll leave peaceful as a dove I will breathe in the starlight I will listen for my bones They are resting deep below the meadow But they used to stand up straight and tall Do not cry for me, brother Do not cry for me, son I am flying faster than a sparrow I am leaving peaceful as a dove Always thought that I'd be buried In a New York City grave But when I died I needed fresh air So I travelled to the countryside Do not look for me in winter Do not search for me in June I'll be running free above the meadow I'll be dancing to my own sweet tune Do not cry for me, brother Do not cry for me, son I am flying faster than a sparrow I am leaving peaceful as a dove Now my bones won't break inside me No more aching in my soul If you miss me, darling please don't worry I'll come back to visit you once more Do not cry for me, brother Do not cry for me, son I am flying faster than a sparrow I am leaving peaceful as a dove
