10,000 Maniacs
Lilydale
[Verse 1]
Come as we go far away
From the noise of the street
Walk a path so narrow
To a place where we feel at ease

[Chorus 1]
Some think it's so haunting
To be drawn to the cemetery ground as we
There's a stillness here
Thankful found

[Verse 2]
Child's pose angelic
A stone lamb at her feet
Part the matted overgrowth
To read the carven elegy

[Chorus 1]
Some think it's so haunting
To be drawn to the cemetery ground as we
There's a stillness here
Thankful found

[Verse 3]
Born in New Albion
Of Rice family elite
Wed to Myron Bilowe
Thrice with sons
Blessed was she
[Chorus 2]
Some think it's so haunting
To be drawn to the cemetery ground as we
God's acre is a fenced-in hallowed ground

[Verse 3]
Here soon to rise up
Amelia tender and sweet
Her last words spoken
"All is well, all is peace"

[Chorus 3]
And some think it's so haunting
To be drawn to the cemetery ground as we
God's acre is a fenced-in hallowed ground

[Chorus 4]
Some still think it's so haunting
To be drawn to the cemetery ground as we
God's acre is a fenced-in hallowed ground

[Outro]
It's a hallowed ground
Oh oh
