10000 Maniacs - Lilydale lyrics

[ music: robert buck/lyric: natalie merchant ]<br><br><br>Come as we go far away<br>From the noise of the street<br>Walk a path so narrow<br>To a place where we feel at ease<br><br>Some think it is haunting<br>To be drawn to the cemetery ground<br>As we<br>There's a stillness here<br>Thankful found<br><br>Child's pose angelic<br>A stone lamb at her feet<br>Part the matted overgrowth<br>To read the carven elegy<br><br>Some think it so haunting<br>To be drawn to the cemetery ground<br>As we<br>There's a stillness here<br>Thankful found<br><br>Born in new albion<br>Of rice family elite<br>Wed to myron bilowe<br>Thrice with sons<br>Blessed was she<br>Some think it so haunting<br>To be drawn to the cemetery ground<br>As we<br>God's acre is a fenced in<br>Hollow ground<br><br>Here soon to rise up<br>Amelia tender and sweet<br>Her last words spoke<br>All is well<br>All is peace<br><br>Some think it so haunting<br>To be drawn to the cemetery ground<br>As we<br>God's acre is a fenced in<br>Hollow ground
