Delta Rae – I Will Never Die lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hickory, oak, pine, and weed
Bury my heart underneath these trees
And when a southern wind comes to raise my soul
Spread my spirit like a flock of crows
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I loved you for too long
I loved you for too long
I loved you for too long
[Chorus]
Old heat of a raging fire
Come and light my eyes
Summer's kiss to electric wire
But I'll never die
[Verse 2]
Sycamore, ash, moss, and loam
Wrap your roots all around my bones
And when they come for me, when they call my name
Cast my shadow from a bellow's flame
[Pre-Chorus]
(So let the storm come)
[Chorus]
I will never die
You can bury my body, but I'll never die
[Middle Eight]
In the dead of night
(In the dead of night)
I'm gonna loose these chains
(I'm gonna loose these chains)
I'm gonna run and run and run and run and run
(Sing on, sister)
I'm gonna run and run and run and run
I'm coming for you again
(Oh, I'm coming for you again)
So let the storm come
[Chorus]
I will never die
You can bury my body, but I'll never die
[Outro]
Hickory, oak, pine, and weed
Bury my heart underneath these trees
Hickory, oak, pine, and weed
Bury my heart underneath these trees
And when a southern wind comes to raise my soul
Spread my spirit like a flock of crows
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I loved you for too long
I loved you for too long
I loved you for too long
[Chorus]
Old heat of a raging fire
Come and light my eyes
Summer's kiss to electric wire
But I'll never die
[Verse 2]
Sycamore, ash, moss, and loam
Wrap your roots all around my bones
And when they come for me, when they call my name
Cast my shadow from a bellow's flame
[Pre-Chorus]
(So let the storm come)
[Chorus]
I will never die
You can bury my body, but I'll never die
[Middle Eight]
In the dead of night
(In the dead of night)
I'm gonna loose these chains
(I'm gonna loose these chains)
I'm gonna run and run and run and run and run
(Sing on, sister)
I'm gonna run and run and run and run
I'm coming for you again
(Oh, I'm coming for you again)
So let the storm come
[Chorus]
I will never die
You can bury my body, but I'll never die
[Outro]
Hickory, oak, pine, and weed
Bury my heart underneath these trees
