about

The gravedigger sings. After a lifetime spent shuffling the mortal remains of others from this world, the mind naturally wanders to thoughts of shuffling one’s own.

lyrics

Time and the river roll by, roll by, roll by
I see the shadows draw nigh
I hear the evening sigh

Into the valley we go, we go, we go
I see the fi relight glow
Ahoy there down below!
Ooh, ahoy there down below!

I make a wish as fates capricious kiss our time goodbye
To the land of no reply

Soiled earth to turn
A rose by the urn
A whistle to while the time by
Blue winter blow
the portrait I know
In verdigris, rust and rime
I watch as the city alight
Shines around us through the night

Will time persist,
will loving exist,
if heaven knows I try?
To ghost or wraith
I leap in faith
and shall I fall or fl y
to the land of no reply?
Oh shall I fall or fl y
to the land of no reply?
