Lilydale — 10000 Maniacs

Music: Robert Buck/Lyric: Natalie Merchant

Come as we go far away From the noise of the street Walk a path so narrow To a place where we feel at ease

Some think it is haunting To be drawn to the cemetery ground As we There's a stillness here Thankful found

Child's pose angelic A stone lamb at her feet Part the matted overgrowth To read the carven elegy

Some think it so haunting To be drawn to the cemetery ground As we There's a stillness here Thankful found

Born in new albion Of rice family elite Wed to myron bilowe Thrice with sons Blessed was she Some think it so haunting To be drawn to the cemetery ground As we God's acre is a fenced in Hollow ground

Here soon to rise up Amelia tender and sweet Her last words spoke All is well All is peace

Some think it so haunting To be drawn to the cemetery ground As we God's acre is a fenced in Hollow ground
