lyrics

Spirit to the Lord, Body to the Earth

My spirit will go back to the lord, and my body
will go back to the Earth, feed the flowers and the
trees and the dirt, for all it’s worth.

To the oceans and the rivers and the dirt, my
fingers that are strumming this verse, my voice
that sings these words that I worked, for all it’s
worth.

Many years on when I’m grey and old and my kin
have found their ways through the world, my
spirit will go back on to the Lord as my body
crumbles back to the Earth.

Now don’t get scared, sick, sad or cold, might
someday soon my soul return, then dance on
right on back on to the Lord, as my body
becomes dirt. Becomes dirt. Becomes dirt.

Oooh, Oooh... Silver blue eyes, speaks like an
angel, her golden, ringlet hair. But in my demise,
the one that I speak of, was my best life’s affair.

Oooh, Oooh... She led my down south, to black
lands down under. I saw them fired plumed gates.
She led me up north, to white lands of wonder.
I sealed my pearly fate, it‘s too late now...

Oooh, Oooh...
