Lay This Body Down

Long Time Travelling
Oh graveyard, oh graveyard
I'm walking through the graveyard
Lay this body down
I see the starlight
I'm walking through the starlight
Lay this body down
I see the moonlight
I'm walking through the moonlight
Lay this body down
I lie in the grave
I'm lying in the graveyard
Lay this body down
I go to judgement
In the evening of the day
Lay this body down
My soul and your soul
Will meet on that day
Lay this body down
Oh graveyard, oh graveyard
I'm walking through that graveyard
Lay this body down
I'm a long time travelling here below
I'm a long time travelling away from home
I'm a long time travelling here below
To lay this body down

Ye fleeting charms of earth farewell,
Your springs of joy are dry.
My soul now seeks a better home,
A brighter world on high.

Farewell my friends whose tender cares
Has long engaged my love.
Your fond embrace I now exchange
For better friends above.
