'resurrection man' funeral mist rolled over the open grave her pearly skin and her quiet eyes he pulled the locket from her snow white breast she's gotta leave it at the needle's eye with the resurrection man ash to ashes and dust to dust even the beautiful must die she was born into this world a naked babe leaves it dressed like sunday's bride for the resurrection man to take her hand and he cried, oh, nothing's going to live forever oh, no matter how hard we try lord, hear my prayers my soul surrendered oh, save this resurrection man... please take my hand he pressed his face to hers and closed her eyes and slumped back down the moonlit lane they'll curse him but they'll never hear his cries no one understands the pain of the resurrection man when he cried, oh, i don't want to live forever oh, just take this weight up off my head lord, hear my prayers my soul surrendered oh, free this resurrection man... please take my hand
