Don't wait for me   'Cause I'll be running late   By the flowers upon my grave   Don't wait for me   'Cause I'll be coming home   Don't wait for me   Long by the telephone      Chorus:       'Cause I'm wild running through the hills   And my eyes are wondering how you feel   And the miles upon miles keep falling from the sky   Don't wait for me   When the flowers die      Don't wait for me   I have many miles to go   Don't wait for me   I have nothing left to show   Don't wait for me   Wonderin' what is wrong   Don't wait for me   I'll catch up at the break of dawn      Chorus      Don't wait for me   Sleepin' in the summer sun   Don't wait for me   With my pillow lies my gun   Don't wait for me   I'm gonna finish last   Don't wait for me   I'm mending fences of my past      Chorus      Don't wait for me   When the flowers die
