Leave Me There

LEAVE ME THERE (3:57)
Jim Pipkin BMI

We stood in a canyon while the full moon rose in a clear black sky
Moonlight shone like silver dust and I heard you sigh
That sound will echo in my heart until the day I die
One thing's a given - we've done a little livin'

Please don't bury me, don't box me up beneath the clay
Throw my ashes where the wind can carry me away
Up where stars hang down so low they tangle in your hair
If you've ever loved me, take me there

We moved to the city and the moon still rose but we could not see
Nose to the grindstone thumb on the button of trash TV
Got so busy, got so much we forgot how to be free
Gotta be forgiven - gotta do a little livin'

Please don't bury me, don't box me up beneath the clay
Throw my ashes where the wind can carry me away
Up where stars hang down so low they tangle in your hair
If you've ever loved me, take me there

Up above the snow line where the land feels freshly made
Bracken fern and berry vine grow chest high in the shade
Aspen gleam like temple columns as the sunlight fades
While you're chasin' heaven - stop and do a little livin'

Please don't bury me, don't box me up beneath the clay
Throw my ashes where the wind can carry me away
Up where stars hang down so low they tangle in your hair
If you've ever loved me, take me there

Please don't bury me, don't box me up beneath the clay
Throw my ashes where the wind can carry me away
Up where stars hang down so low they tangle in your hair
If you've ever loved me, leave me there
