When this body grows weary And the end's feeling close I wanna go to heaven When I give up the ghost I'm counting sparrows And darkening skies It's swallowed by the clouds in my eyes Beneath an old cypress I wonder why In the Earth we were brought up to lie When this body grows weary And the end's feeling close I wanna go to heaven When I give up the ghost The sun shudders softly Behind a cold moon My breathe bleeds out slowly 'Till it fills up the room I'm drawn to my grave Like a moth to a flame The temple makes itself a tomb When this body grows weary And the end's feeling close I wanna go to heaven When I give up the ghost ♪ When this body grows weary And the end's feeling close I wanna go to heaven When I give up the ghost Sweet Jesus, I fear When this body is gone There'll be nothing left But pile of my bones Though I sleep in the clay Don't forget me that day Don't leave me down there all alone When this body grows weary And the end's feeling close I wanna go to heaven When I give up the ghost When this body grows weary And the end's feeling close
