Lyrics
When I die bury me inside the ocean
When I die lay me underneath the waves
So I can feel that ebb and flow until my body fades
When I die drink down the last swallow
When I die put me inside that bottle
Put my ash and some sand in the glass, launch it in the bay
Cause I ain’t the same when I am away
There’s this feeling I never can replace
Without the sand and a tan and the sun
To light up my face
And when I’m not near
It’s like the world ain’t clear
There’s a fog clouding up my brain
So girl write it down
I’m telling you now
I ain’t jokin’
Bury me inside the ocean
Some folks I know now are gonna call me crazy
Took me a long time to figure out but baby
It’s what made me, it’s what saved me, I’m gonna love her till I’m 80
Cause I ain’t the same when I’m away
There’s this feeling I never can replace
Without the sand and a tan and the sun
To light up my face
And when I’m not near
It’s like the world ain’t clear
There’s a fog clouding up my brain
So girl write it down
I’m telling you now
I ain’t jokin’
Bury me inside the ocean
Bury me inside the ocean
Yeah these are my wishes
My one last request
Don’t let me go out on some cold death bed
Put me on a 20 foot open fisherman
And sail me to rest
Cause I ain’t the same when I am away
There’s this feeling I never can replace
Without the sand and a tan and the sun
To light up my face
And when I’m not near
It’s like the world ain’t clear
There’s a fog clouding up my brain
So girl write it down
I’m telling you now
I ain’t jokin’
Don’t lay me in the ground
Don’t lay me in the Alps
I’d rather be floating
Bury me inside the ocean
Bury me inside O
Bury me inside the ocean
