Tekst piosenki
When I meet the morning beam
Or lay me down at night to dream,
I hear my bones within me say
Another night, another day
The man of flesh and soul be slain
And the man of bone remain
These today are proud in power
And lord it in their little hour
The bought to bones obey control
Of dying flesh and dying soul
The bought to bones obey control
Of dying flesh and dying soul
This long till eve and morn are gone
Slow the endless night comes on
And late to fullness grows the birth
That shall last as long as earth
(2x)
These today are proud in power
And lord it in their little hour
The bought to bones obey control
Of dying flesh and dying soul
Wanderers eastward, wanderers west
Know you why you cannot rest
This that every mother's son
Travails with a skeleton
Lie down in the bed of dust
Bear the fruit that bear you must
Bring the eternal seed to light
And morn is all the same as night
Rest you so from trouble sore
Fear the heat o' the son no more
Nor the snowing winter wild
Now you labour not with child
Empty vessel, garment cast
We that wore you long shall last
Another night, another day
So my bones within me say
