All That Heaven Will Allow
Just close the door
and leave the key under the plant outside
The one you bought me years ago
look how it's grown
Go away, you cannot stay here
Take your heart off of your sleeve
and let me catch my breath
I hope you haven't left a thing
It's hard enough to be here without your love
It's hard enough
Move along, you don't belong here
Wipe yourself off of my floor
and let me get some sleep
I cannot keep you in my heart
It's hard enough to be here without your
to be here without your
to be here wit
Lilydale
[ music: Robert Buck/lyric: Natalie Merchant ]
come as we go far away
from the noise of the street
walk a path so narrow
to a place where we feel at ease
some think it is haunting
to be drawn to the cemetery ground
as we
there's a stillness here
thankful found
child's pose angelic
a stone lamb at her feet
part the matted overgrowth
to read the carven elegy
some think it so haunting
to be drawn to the cemetery ground
as we
there's a stillness here
thankful found
born in New Albion
of Rice family elite
wed to Myron Bilowe
thrice with sons
blessed was she
some think it so haunting
to be drawn to the cemetery ground
as we
God's acre is a fenced in
hollow ground
here soon to rise up
Amelia tender and sweet
her last words spoke
all is well
all is peace
some think it so haunting
to be drawn to the cemetery ground
as we
God's acre is a fenced in
hollow ground
