When I die won't you please feed me


To the lions of the Kalahari?

I don't care if they eat my bones


'Cause I know I won't be goin' home




Oh, it's never far away from me


Oh, it's never far away from me




Rubber on dust as the wheels go round


I had never heard a sweeter sound


Till the day that I heard my baby cry

These things I shall carry until I die





Oh, she's never far away from me

Oh, she's never far away from me





The rains came heavy and we closed our eyes

And listened to the song pourin' from the skies


Two miles from the border as the eagle flies


But the desert is the same on the other side




The leaves on Mt. Royal turn from green to gold


And crimson as the autumn light takes hold

October's here, I'm another year old


There'll be more tellin' 'fore my story is told




Oh, when I die won't you please feed me


To the lions of the Kalahari?


I don't care if they eat my bones

'Cause I know I won't be goin' home





Oh, it's never far away from me

Oh, it's never far away from me





Oh, she's never far away from me

Oh, she's never far away from me





Oh, it's never far away from me

Oh, I'm never far away from you
