| 16. Long Long Time (Quentin Guest)
Dust to dust, ashes (and sand)
Now you fly across the land and you leave me!
You leave me here on my own...
Come away come away Death
and in sad Cypress let him be laid
Fly away fly away breath
For he is slain by a fair cruel maid
No t a flower not a flower sweet
on his black coffin let there be thrown
Let him lie in sweet defeat
Until I stab her heart of stone
Here I am, I’m all alone,
Here I stand - alone on the edge of the world.
Even now when you are gone
I can feel the love, I can feel the song
I know your heart will be with mine
For a long long time.
Come away come away friends.
Give him time let peace be still
Let him find where heaven ends
As it was – and always will
Not a flower not a flower sweet
on his black coffin let there be thrown.
Under the wide and starry sky
Dig the grave and let him die
Glad did he live and sadly die
as she laid him down, as she laid him down.
This be the verse that you grave for me
Home is the sailor, home from the sea.
And the hunter, the hunter is home from the hill. |
