Set me free

By SeekingNirvana

Lay me to rest where I can be free
Where the blowing breeze will forgive my sins
Lay me to rest in a park, or under the sypress
Let the sun bear down upon me

Lay me to rest where no one will go
Let me sleep in peace

When I'm gone, celebrate my loss
And lay me to rest with a tissue on each shoulder
So I may wipe away my tears as i weep for my soul

But you will be different
You will not cry
You will let me rest in peace
You will let me die
