Song by Jo Inge Hjerkinn / Rune Letrud

lyrics

Spreading The Ashes
(Hjerkinn/Letrud)

(When the) time has come for me to say goodbye
And my last words on this earth have been said
(I hope my) friends will take me for one last ride
Remembering the good times that we had
Pour my ashes in a coffee tin
And gather all my friends
(Leave the) tin in the hallway for all to see
Let those who wish take me home with them

Mary will spread a little in her garden
I'll be the rose she smells the next spring
Lock some up in the safe for Rich
He's always been too good at loosing things
Make sure some reaches Caroline
Tell her I'm sorry I never called
(Our time) together meant more than I ever told her
I'm was so grateful for it all

Spread my ashes to my friends
Giving each a little piece
A tiny, little memory of me
Spread my ashes let the last flake blow away in the wind
(And) let there be no sad faces to see

Drop some in the body of Jeff's guitar
I will make music still and tour the world with him
Stir a little pinch in a whiskey jar
Raise it up in a toast to my old buddy Jim
Bill will throw a pinch into the fire
(We said) someday we'd both go up in flames, my friend
And Eddie will put some in the tank of his car
He promised to take me for a ride again

Spread my ashes to my friends
Giving each a little piece
A tiny, little memory of me
Spread my ashes let the last flake blow away in the wind
(And) let there be no sad faces to see
(And) let there be no sad faces to see
