The Graveyard Song Lyrics

Pigpen Theatre Co. The Graveyard Song

Lover of ten years past
They have covered you with grass
And stones now line your grave
Caked in your graveyard dust
I remain to trust
That your soul is still awake
Still awake, awake, awake
Still awake, awake, awake

Lover indeed they have covered with weeds
My body but my soul remains
So play louder, and faster, and stronger
Make this soil break
Make it break, make it break, make it break
Make it break, make it break, make it break

These weeds, these weeds, tangled, tangled
Oh these knots, not so simple
Oh these trees, hanging, hanging
Oh their limbs casting
Shadows, shadows, shadows, shadows

Lover indeed they have covered with weeds
My body but my soul remains
So play louder, and faster, and stronger
Make this soil
Make it break, break, break
