Sometimes I m tossed & driven
& sometimes I don t know where to roam
but I ve heard of a city called Heaven
& I ve started to make it my home
Oh soon I ll reach the glory
where mortals no longer complain
& there s a ship that s coming to take me
& the captain is calling my name
Do you wanna be buried with my people, dear
was the look in his eyes
We can rest our bones side by side
in the dirt of yonder high
& it s so fun to see me being me alongside you
& that s how I knew the answer dear
to the look I got from you
I d nearly given up dear with all my fantasies
& then you come & crossed my path, & so here we be
& how the hell did I live this long without you by my side
Can I believe it s you I ve sensed & sung to all my life
Arms that held me never worked before until I was held by you
with a grip so still & charged, oh, coo coo coo coo
& finally it came around inviting us to play
There s nothing as scary as a divine plan
but I wouldn t have it any other way
The mystery is larger than you & me
& we re drunk on faded heart
but woman, I have a suspicion
you just could be my missing part
but who the hell knows which way
God will pull us tomorrow
but honey we re writing our past right now
& fear s only gonna beckon sorrow
Giddy up love whatever is for you
won t ever pass you by
You live & die in you
& I live & die in me
each day for the rest of this life
Cause I am a prince
& I am a prince
for I am my own salvation
but you re my queen
& you re my king
so live & die beside each other
Do you want to be buried with my people, dear
was the look in your eyes
We can rest our bones side by side
in the dirt of yonder high
& it s so fun to see me being me alongside you
That s how I knew the answer dear
to the look I got from you
