The Waifs: "When I Die" Lyrics

When I die won’t you bury me

In the town where I was born 

Most of my life I’ve been rambiling free

When I die I want to come back home



Ever since I was a baby child

I knew I was born to roam

I had to climb to the top of the hill

Just to see what lies beyond

Now seasons change and I am still the same

I don’t belong to anyone

Still a piece of me will always be

Sitting in my hometown sun



In my time I have seen ten thousand setting suns

And I made my bed where I lay my head

And it never hurt anyone

It could be said that a girl like me

Ain’t nothing but a prodigal son

And just like that prodigal boy I’m gonna finish off where I've begun
