Old Churchyard

[00:05.05] Come, come with me to the old churchyard
[00:10.96] I so well know those paths 'neath the soft green sward
[00:16.67] Friends slumber in there that we want to regard
[00:24.13] We will trace out their names in the old churchyard
[00:32.12] Mourn not for them for their trials are o'er
[00:37.11] Why weep for those who will weep no more?
[00:42.95] For sweet is their sleep, though cold and hard
[00:48.87] Their pillows may be in the old churchyard
[00:55.92] I know that it's vain when our friends depart
[01:02.22] To breathe kind words to a broken heart
[01:08.33] And I know that the joy of life is marred
[01:14.22] When we follow lost friends to the old churchyard
[01:20.57] But were I at rest 'neath yonder tree
[01:26.43] Why would you weep, my friends, for me?
[01:32.24] I'm so weary, so wayworn, why would you retard
[01:38.13] The peace I seek in the old churchyard?
[01:43.29] Why weep for me for I'm anxious to go
[01:48.46] To that haven of rest where no tears ever flow
[01:54.19] And I fear none my fate when it's time to depart
[01:59.85] I will set with the sun in the old churchyard
[02:05.69] I rest in the hope that one bright day
[02:11.47] Sunshine will burst through these prisons of clay
[02:17.28] The trumpets will sound in the hills near and far
[02:22.78] Will wake up the dead in the old churchyard
[02:28.71] I rest in the hope that one bright day
[02:34.54] Sunshine will burst through these prisons of clay
[02:40.18] The trumpets will sound in the hills near and far
[02:45.77] Will wake up the dead in the old churchyard
[02:51.97] The trumpets will sound in the hills near and far
[02:58.92] Will wake up the dead in the old churchyard
[03:11.44]
