When I Die Lyrics - Stray Birds

chorus: 

when i die, lay me down at the stream 

by the tree with the deepest roots 

bury my body in blue jeans 

and a pair of my leather boots 

verse 

maybe sing a song, maybe carry a rose 

maybe listen for the wind on the day it blows 

don't tell em you love me if you broke my heart 

leave the flowers above me now don't tear them apart

chorus. 

some days we had it easy, sometimes trouble too 

honey i'd trade a good a day alone for a bad one with you 

will you miss my dark cloud, my stormy state of mind 

somebody's gotta roll that thunder in the sky 

chorus. 

take my guitar from the empty hall 

don't let it hang from some rich mans wall 

that piece of wood is how i learned to pray 

just find some hands to play it everyday 

Photos 

take my body down main street 

take me by my old school 

toast my name at the bar where we used to shoot pool 

take me past the graveyard where my family lay 

i wanna be by the water on that final day. 

chorus.
