《The Old Churchyard》歌词

[00:00:00] The Old Churchyard - Offa Rex

[00:00:01] Written by：Traditional

[00:00:16] Come come with me out to the old churchyard

[00:00:22] I so well know those paths 'neath the soft green sward

[00:00:28] Friends slumber in there that we want to regard

[00:00:34] We will trace out their names in the old churchyard

[00:00:41] Mourn not for them their trials are o'er

[00:00:47] And why weep for those who will weep no more

[00:00:53] For sweet is their sleep though cold and hard

[00:00:59] Their pillows may be in the old churchyard

[00:01:06] I know that it's vain when our friends depart

[00:01:12] To breathe kind words to a broken heart

[00:01:18] And I know that the joy of life is marred

[00:01:24] When we follow lost friends to the old churchyard

[00:01:31] But were I at rest 'neath yonder tree

[00:01:37] Oh why would you weep my friends for me

[00:01:43] I'm so weary so way worn why would you retard

[00:01:50] The peace I seek in the old churchyard

[00:02:09] Why weep for me for I'm anxious to go

[00:02:14] To that haven of rest where no tears ever flow

[00:02:21] And I fear not to enter that dark lonely tomb

[00:02:27] Where our savior has lain and conquered the gloom

[00:02:46] I rest in the hope that one bright day

[00:02:52] Sunshine will burst to these prisons of clay

[00:02:58] And old gabriel's trumpet and voice of the Lord

[00:03:05] Will wake up the dead in the old churchyard
