Lyrics

When I Die

by Nancy McCallion



When I die don't cut me up

Just tell my friends I had enough

Be still my broken heart

Don't check to see what's in my blood

Just tell my family they were loved

But we must part



And I'm riding in a Falcon

With a young man at my side

And I know I knew his name once

I think I made him cry



And if I stumble at the end

If I forget then just pretend

I know your name

Don't bring your babies to my bed

But sing for them my songs instead

If I'm not the same



And I'm riding in a Falcon

With a young man at my side

And I know I knew his name once

I think he made me cry



So when I die just wrap me up

And tell yourself it was enough

Then throw my ashes to the wind

And have a party with my friends to say goodbye
