Performed with Jimmy Little

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
