| Mother, father, thank you so
|
| For keeping the fires burning home
|
| Brother, brother, for giving shelter
|
| Throughout those years of war
|
| Oh now that it’s nearly over
|
| After a long night in wait
|
| I’d soothe every soul
|
| With the last comfort, but mine
|
| I believe in love and you need to know
|
| That my heart’s in your embrace
|
| Now I’m leaving well but I bid farewell
|
| 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
|
| Oh now that it’s nearly over
|
| After a long night in wait
|
| I’d soothe every soul
|
| With the last comfort, but mine
|
| I believe in love and you need to know
|
| That my heart’s in your embrace
|
| Now I’m leaving well but I bid farewell
|
| One last song for my resting place
|
| Dear Maria, enjoy your life
|
| You’ve always known 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
|
| Mrs. Robinson my only life
|
| Nearer to God than to thee
|
| Oh now that it’s nearly over
|
| After a long night in wait
|
| I’d soothe every soul
|
| With the last comfort, but mine
|
| I believe in love and you need to know
|
| That my heart’s in your embrace
|
| Now I’m leaving well but I bid farewell
|
| One last song for my resting place
|
| My father said on his deathbed
|
| Son, don’t shed those tears for me
|
| Mrs. Robinson oh you are my love
|
| Nearer to God than 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 into the deep |
