A bell in a churchyard
It yells for me to begin
And my hands, they tremble and shake
While a chill burrows under my skin
It rains in the valley
It rains from the skies
And it's raining deep inside my soul
And it pours up and out of my eyes
Not long ago, you were here in my arms
And I swore I would protect you from harm
Now here we are
On this hill, 'neath the tree
In the Churchyard at dawn
How could we've fallen so far?
The earth is a blood-red clay
That cakes to my heels
And the spade grows heavy as lead
And my heart it is heavier still
In a bough there's a raven
And his eyes fix me with a stare
Then he turns and screams at the sky
And it burns like the truth in my ears
Not long ago, you were here in my arms
And I swore I would protect you from harm
Now here we are
On this hill, 'neath a tree
In the Churchyard at dusk
How could we've fallen so far?
It yells for me to begin
And my hands, they tremble and shake
While a chill burrows under my skin
It rains in the valley
It rains from the skies
And it's raining deep inside my soul
And it pours up and out of my eyes
Not long ago, you were here in my arms
And I swore I would protect you from harm
Now here we are
On this hill, 'neath the tree
In the Churchyard at dawn
How could we've fallen so far?
The earth is a blood-red clay
That cakes to my heels
And the spade grows heavy as lead
And my heart it is heavier still
In a bough there's a raven
And his eyes fix me with a stare
Then he turns and screams at the sky
And it burns like the truth in my ears
Not long ago, you were here in my arms
And I swore I would protect you from harm
Now here we are
On this hill, 'neath a tree
In the Churchyard at dusk
How could we've fallen so far?
