A Sea of Roses

I lose sleep at night like a young
 man who's in the fight of his young life
 I have never known the way the wind would blow if everything were fine
 ♪
 I'm scared that when I die I'll be
 alone with no one sitting by my side
 No, I do not think that I could be alone when I die
 ♪
 Lay me down in the ground
 Put me back into the earth
 Among all of my friends
 Under a blanket of roses
 A sea of flowers overhead
 A field outside of Nashville pitches color to the dreariness of day
 So the air hangs soft and tender,
 blowin' 'round my thoughts whichever way
 ♪
 Where hills,
 they rise for miles and miles, I recognize the cryin' in the wind
 I hear people come from everywhere
 to say goodbye sweet-like to their kin
 ♪
 Lay me down in the ground, put me back into the earth
 Among all of my friends under a blanket of roses
 A sea of flowers overhead
 That is right, I don't believe anymore than skies above
 It's just me and those I've loved under a blanket of roses
 A sea of flowers overhead
 When I die
