Lyrics Down in the Churchyard - Chris Hillman

Down in the Churchyard

There’s a man, a tall man
Follows no one
Out in a storm can he stay warm
All the things that he’s done
Oh, but the city lights
Are but pretty lights
Get a move on, tell him it’s all right
You gotta ease in and say it’s all right
There is a man, a crippled man
Is he a soldier
Can his new wife live out her life
The way he once told her
Oh, but I see the light
I see it burning bright
Get a move on, tell him it’s all right
You gotta shake your fist and say it’s all right
Instrumental (Electric Guitars)
Now where you’ve been is not a sin
It’s where you’re goin'
Hurt anyone by what you’ve done
And it starts showin'
Oh, but you can’t complain
About the wind and the rain
You’re gonna gather down in the churchyard just the same
And your water won’t ever wash away the stain
If you remain
