Lyrics of Graveyard Poem


It was the greatest night of my life
Although I still had not found a wife
I had my friends
Right there beside me
We were close together
We tripped the wall and we scaled the graveyard
Ancient shapes were all around us
The wet dew felt fresh beside the fog
Two made love in an ancient spot
One chased a rabbit into the dark
A girl got drunk and balled the dead
And I gave empty sermons to my head
Cemetary, cool and quiet
Hate to leave your sacred lay
Dread the milky coming of the day
