The Waterboys The Waterboys - Bury My Heart Lyrics

Bury my soul
where the dust meets the sea
Turn it loose in a lonely place
where a man can still be free
Make up my clothes and sheets in a ball
put them in the ground
Tell my children only truths
and teach them to be proud
Tell them dreams and miracles
and when the thunder starts
Bury my Heart

I'm born a travelling trouper
but I laid my wings to rest
Once I beat myself in vengeance
now I feather up my nest
There are flags in my backyard,
colours on my wall
I pay my servant well
but I make the b______ crawl
And I pretend no blessed evil
