about

Emmylou Harris defined this song. Who could ever hope to come close to her version of anything? Her version is so singular that if you listened to hers and then mine, you would swear they were two completely different songs. Why take it on to include here? I’ve always loved this song. It fits so well with the theme of the book and album. How could I not include it? My favorite part of this recording is the giant spacey guitars that came out of this tiny 1974 Fender Champ amp.

lyrics

When I go don’t cry for me
 In my Father’s arms I’ll be 
 The wounds this world left on my soul 
 Will all be healed and I’ll be whole

 Sun and moon will be replaced
 With the light of Jesus’ face 
And I will not be ashamed 
 For my saviour knows my name

It don’t matter where you bury me
 I’ll be home and I’ll be free
 It don’t matter where I lay
 All my tears be washed away

 Gold and silver blind the eye 
 Temporary riches lie
So come and eat from heaven’s store
 Come and drink and thirst no more

So weep not for me my friend
When my time below does end 
 For my life belongs to Him
 Who will raise the dead again

It don’t matter where you bury me 
 I’ll be home and I’ll be free
 It don’t matter where I lay
All my tears be washed away
Am When death comes to call on you
 Who will hear now your name too?
