John Denver - Forest Lawn слова песни
Oh, lay me down in forest lawn in a silver casketWith golden flowers over my head in a silver basketLet the drum and bugle corp play taps while cannons roarSixteen libereed employees sell souvenirs from the funeral storeI wanna go simply when I goThey`ll give me a simple funeral there I knowWith the casket lined in fleeceAnd the fireworks spelling out "Rest in Peace"So take me when I`m gone to forest lawnOh, lay me down in forest lawn they understand thereThey have a heavenly choir in the military band thereJust put me in their care I`ll find my comfort thereWith sixteen planes in the last salut they`ll drop a cross in a parachuteI wanna go simply when I goThey`ll give me a simple funeral there I knowWith a hundred strolling stringsAnd topless dancers with golden wingsOh, take me when I`m gone to forest lawnOooh, come, come, come, comeCome to the church in the wild woodKindly leave a contribution in the pailBe as simple and as trusting as a child wouldAnd we`ll sell you the church in the daleTo find a simple resting place is my desireTo lay me down with a smiling face comes a little bit highermy likeness cast in brass will stand in plastic grasWhile hidden weights and springs tipsit`s hat to the mourners filing pastI wanna go simply when I goThey`ll give me a simple funeral there I knowI`ll lie beneath the sandWith piped-in tapes of Billy GrahamOh, take me when I`m gone to forest lawnRock of ages cleft for me for a slightly higher feeOh, take me when I`m gone to forest lawn
