No Grave

Lay my body down on Mercy Street

Or deep beneath the darkest seas

Lay my body six feet under down in Old

Noarlunga

Right beneath the ghost gum trees

Doesn’t matter where

You won’t find me there

No grave

Gonna hold my spirit down

Ain’t no grave

Hold my spirit down

Lord knows they’ll never keep me in the ground

Ain’t no grave

Hold my spirit down

It’s alright mama, now don’t be sad

It’s alright, don’t cry for me

They can lock my flesh and bones up until kingdom come

But my spirit will be free

It doesn’t matter where

You won’t find me there

It’s a dead end search

It’s a nowhere thread

Looking for the living down among the dead

No devil in hell

No angel above

Can separate the saints from the love of God
