This very night

Don’t weep for me

Please don’t be sad

For when I’m gone

Things won’t be bad

I’ll soon be free

Of this awful world

Where men kill men

And insults hurled

No bills to pay

No credit card

No daily stress

We find so hard

Perhaps another life awaits

Could it be worse than this?

Perhaps there’s peace and quiet there

Where every day is bliss

No plot of ground

No headstone

No flowers

Or dry bone

Just burn me up

Cast my ash in the sea

Say a little prayer

and home for tea

Atlantic, Pacific or even the Med.

It’s all the same to me

Just throw my remnants to the wind

And then you’ll set me free

Back to the place

Where life began

Under the sea

The birth of man

So dry your eyes

And try a smile

Just think of me

Once in a while

Remember good times

that we had

and think kind thoughts

of this old dad
