Ol' eye but a pearl
Wane like the moon
Who did smile from a black pit
Sigh without lips
Blow the chill from the bone
With no life left to worry
Rise like the sunlight slow
In cemetery old
Nay a marker shows
Frozen ground
Gave me way
Grass roots push
Tender blades through
In the sun
Horses play
In the valley where I last lay
Left the hands, fingers parted
Left the feet to rest in darkness
Left the ribs O'er silent heart
One of those bones will be you
Will ya be among them, pining body broken?
In the hour of your soul
Don't be bound
To your life when you go
When I was alive my skin smooth
Beautiful face of my youth
Too soon I did die
Saw my body from the outside
Left the hands, fingers parted
Left the feet to rest in darkness
Left the ribs O'er silent heart
One of those bones will be you
Will ya be among them, pining body broken?
In the hour of your soul
Don't be bound
To your life
Floating freely 'er I go
Soar in sunlight deepest gold
Left the hands, fingers parted
Left the feet to rest in darkness
Left the ribs O'er silent heart
One of those bones will be you
In the hour of your soul
Don't be bound
To your life
Don't be bound
