"One Dying And A Burying" lyrics

One Dying And A Burying

Well, I think I finally found me
A sure-fire way to forget
It's so simple, I'm surprised
I hadn't done thought of it before yet
It's foolproof
Well, it's foolhardy, maybe, but who knows
Anyway, here I am walking toward
Where the cold dark water flows
Cause all it takes is

One dying and a burying
One dying and a burying
Some crying
Six carrying me
I wanna be free

Oh, I wanna be free
Free from all this heartache and regret
And free from pining
For the love I can't forget
The love that once was warm
And then just somehow turned to hate
Made my life a prison
From which there's only one escape
And that's

One dying and a burying
One dying and a burying
Some crying
Six carrying me
I wanna be free

One dying and a burying
One dying and a burying
Some crying
Six carrying me
I wanna be free
