lyrics

When they come for me to place me in the ground,
will the wind carry my name or will it make no sound?
And when the shades are drawn and the shadows fall,
will anyone remember me at all?

Will you swear by me at the water's edge,
and pay the toll to the ferryman?

Just meet me in the fields of Elysium,
and dance through the gardens with your gold dress on,
and lie down beside me when my time is done,
in Elysium.

Can I face the mirror when the time has come, and
will you be near me when the final breath is drawn?
And if you should go before I cross,
I'll pay the price for you so your soul's not lost.

Will you lie down beside me when my time is done?
Just meet me in the fields of Elysium,
and lie down beside me when my time is done,
in Elysium.

Don't shed a tear for me when the boatman comes,
just meet me in the fields of Elysium,
and lie down beside me when my time is done,
In Elysium.
