The Churchyard

The bell in the 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
And here we are, on this hill
'neath the tree in the churchyard at dawn
How can we've fallen so far?
The earth is a blood red clay
That cakes to my heels
And the stain grows heavy as lead but
My heart it is heavier still
In a bout there's a raven and his
Eyes fix me with a stare
And 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
And here we are, on this hill
'neath the tree in the churchyard at dusk
How can we've fallen so far?

No one should find out how it's like
Standing here hoping and praying you awake
From this awful ordeal
No one should find out what it's like
Standing here
Digging a hole in which to bury
Your child and your wife

When they are finished they look
Like wounds on a hill
Two graves that lay side by side for
My life and my lover to fill

No one should find out how it feels
Standing here hoping and praying you awake
From this awful ordeal
No one should find out what it's like
Standing here
Not having the means to buy the
Medicine to save their lives
