The Churchyard

from Deaths by The Soundrops

/

lyrics

the bells make the churchyard sing of life
they are waiting inside
the wind gently keeps the time in calm
dogs are barking
very far

a slow worm`s chasing a snail across a grave
who`s gonna win the game
everything so unimportant

how many years have passed
the churchyard`s still the same
still they await
how many graves have changed
the writings are the same

the sun makes the starlings lazily pray
nettles silently whine
the shade of the willow lets them grow
not any move to scare the echo

how many tears have dried
the water`s still sweet
though they can`t drink
how many flowers died
the prayers are the same

the calm`s swaying between the distant sounds
who`s gonna heed them all
everything so unimportant
