lyrics

is this a prison or hospital?
they don't seem concerned with recovery
i don't think i'll ever make it home
been here so long i don't recall
the window view from old plymouth county
is the only sight i feel like i've ever known
just don't let them forget my name
while i'm away

<chorus>

i'll be here when sun turns to winter
i'll be here when years dry the rivers
i'll be here when gates turn to rust
ash to ash and dust turns to dust
when there's no-one left who remembers
bring my bones to the land of my fathers
lay me down in the ground where i'm from
and i won't regret that i've come
and don't forget my name
while i'm away

</chorus>

tell my family i'm doing fine
i'm so busy i got no time to write
america has been so good to me
when i'm well again i'll send a line
to let them know i'm really all right
just keep this lie alive until i'm free

and don't let them forget my name
while i'm away

<chorus>

dear nurse, dear warden please let me go
i can't sleep at all from the coughing
send me somewhere far away from here
dear nurse, dear warden please send me home
i don't understand what you're saying
no-one wants to die and disappear

don't let them forget my name
while i'm away

<chorus>
