When I die wont you please feed me
To the lions of the Kalahari?
I dont care if they eat my bones
Cause I know I wont be goin home
Oh, its never far away from me
Oh, its 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, shes never far away from me
Oh, shes 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
Octobers here, Im another year old
Therell be more tellin fore my story is told
Oh, when I die wont you please feed me
To the lions of the Kalahari?
I dont care if they eat my bones
Cause I know I wont be goin home
Oh, its never far away from me
Oh, its never far away from me
Oh, shes never far away from me
Oh, shes never far away from me
Oh, its never far away from me
Oh, Im never far away from you
