Underneath the Rowan Tree
lyrics
When I turn 75 I'm gonna flee
To a shack in the woods where I shall reside
To get away from it all, to be one with the earth
You're welcome to join me
I'm gonna run, I'm gonna flee
And you are never ever gonna see me
Let my ashes be picked up by a gentle breeze
Or spread them on the bushes, please
Or bury me underneath the rowan tree and let the worms feed on me
I'm gonna run, I'm gonna flee
And you are never ever gonna see me
When I'm old and develop my dementia
Will you let me wander off on my own to die?
This is what I want and what I'm willing to do
To get away from all the responsibility
(I am not asking, I am begging you)
I'm gonna run, I'm gonna flee
And you are never ever gonna see me
Because I love you, because I'll miss you
I'm asking you to let me pass
To a shack in the woods where I shall reside
To get away from it all, to be one with the earth
You're welcome to join me
I'm gonna run, I'm gonna flee
And you are never ever gonna see me
Let my ashes be picked up by a gentle breeze
Or spread them on the bushes, please
Or bury me underneath the rowan tree and let the worms feed on me
I'm gonna run, I'm gonna flee
And you are never ever gonna see me
When I'm old and develop my dementia
Will you let me wander off on my own to die?
This is what I want and what I'm willing to do
To get away from all the responsibility
(I am not asking, I am begging you)
I'm gonna run, I'm gonna flee
And you are never ever gonna see me
Because I love you, because I'll miss you
I'm asking you to let me pass
