The Last Song For My Resting Place

Mother, father

Thank you so

For the keeping the fires burning on

Brother, brother

For giving shelter

Throughout those years of war

Go now that it's nearly over

After a long night in wait

I've soothed every soul with a last comfort

But mine, whoa, ooh

I believe in love

And you need to know

That my hearts in your embrace

Now I'm leaving well

But I've been through hell

One last song for my resting place

I grew up on a family farm

Where the wheat grows like gold

I played his music

He forgave my sins

As foretold in the books of old

Go now that it's nearly over

After a long night in wait

I've soothed every soul with a last comfort

But mine, whoa, ooh

I believe in love

And you need to know

That my hearts in your embrace

Now I'm leaving well

But I've been through hell

One last song for my resting place

Dear Boli, enjoy your life

Always know that I'm by your side

These are fortunes

Worse than war

Beyond my reach and I have no more

My father said

Upon his death

Son, don't shed a tear for me

Misses Robinson

My only life

Give it to God, then to thee

Go now that it's nearly over

After a long night in wait

I've soothed every soul with a last comfort

But mine, whoa, ooh

I believe in love

And you need to know

That my hearts in your embrace

Now I'm leaving well

But I've been through hell

One last song for my resting place

Oh, my father said

On his death bed

Son, don't shed those tears for me

Misses Robinson

Lord, you are my love

Give it to God, then to thee

Oh, Maria

I loved you so

The heart grows fonder

As I go

Please think of me

As I sleep

From beyond the ship

To the deep
