LILY DALE - 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
