A ROOM WITH A VIEW:

When I am dead & you must bury me deep,

Do not lay me on a hill, that is far too steep,

Do not put me in ground, that is plain & flat,

Do not sweep my ashes, beneath life´s torn mat,

Please just give me a room with a beautiful view.

 

When I am dead & you must place me in the box,

Do not leave me in the path, of skulking red fox,

Do not block my dead sight with a concrete wall,

Do not close me within mausoleum’s icy cold hall,

Please just give me a room with a beautiful view.

 

When I am dead & my time has eventually come,

Place me upon site, where I can feel the warm sun,

Where the moon & soft stars, will light my last way,

Put me in a place, where I shall then, eternally stay,

Please just give me a room with a beautiful view.

 

When I am dead, please come & sit close by my side,

Together we shall feel the breezes & watch the tides,

 Put me in pretty place, near old trees & ebbing seas,

So when I am gone, you´ll still want to sit close to me,

Please just give me a room with a beautiful view.
