Bury me deep in love,

Bury me deep in love

Take me in, under your wing

Bury me deep in love



There's a chapel deep in a valley

For travelling strangers in distress

It's nestled among the ghosts of the pines

Under the shadow of a precipice



When a lonesome climbing figure

Slips and loses grip

Tumbles into a crevice

To his icy mountain crypt



Bury him deep in love, bury him deep in love

Take him in, under your wing

Bury him deep in love



When the rock below is shaking

The heart inside is quaking

How long this cold dark night is taking

Bury me deep in love



Bury me deep in love, bury me deep in love

Take me in, under your skin

Bury me deep in love



And the little congregation gathers,

Prays for guidance from above

They sing, "Hear our meditation,

Lead us not into temptation

But give us some kind of explanation

Bury us deep in love"



You may lose me on the east face

You may lose me on the west

I may be covered over in the night

Bury me deep in your love yes



Bury me deep in love. bury me deep in love

Take me in, hide me under your skin

Bury me deep in love



Bury me deep in love, darling bury me deep in your love

Deeper and deeper. deeper and deeper

Bury me deep in love
