My Resting Place
I felt it not though the chilly wind blew hard,
How could I feel cold in that deserted graveyard?
The cypress trees were sturdy and tall
Incredible the evergreen did not bend at all.
How could I feel cold in that deserted graveyard?
The tombs were covered with spent leaves,
Incredible the evergreen did not bend at all
No one around, only a robin grieved.
The tombs were covered with spent leaves,
I was a fool not to mark my resting place.
No one around, only a robin grieved.
Shouldn’t there be a picture that showed my face?
I was a fool not to mark my resting place.
I wandered lonely, tombs here and there, no prayers said
Shouldn’t there be a picture that showed my face?
Till I found my resting place, my body completely dead.
I wandered lonely, tombs here and there, no prayers said
The cypress trees were sturdy and tall
Till I found my resting place, my body completely dead.
I felt it not though the chilly wind blew hard,
