about

This song was written in 1970, the second song in my songbook collection, I guess you could say 'catalog'.

lyrics

When it comes to dyin bury me by the road
let the marker say the name of the day
for the people I know
never let it be said later when I'm dead
I played my music to the wind
I lived my years I listened with my ears
to the song we were playin

2.
there are many days here that I'll let go by
behind me to remind me that I'm still alive
breathin & a blinkin shoutin and a thinkin
thinkin thinkin optimist
goin as sure as the days that blur
in the time that I have left

3.
down along the corner where the avenue
carries fast by crowds that pass the daily afternoon
drink a cup of tea don't anybody see
anything but what I am
I'm sittin by the road where everybody goes
on our way to the land
