[ music: Robert Buck/lyric: Natalie Merchant ]



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 

some think it is haunting 
to be drawn to the cemetery ground 
as we 
there's a stillness here 
thankful found 

child's pose angelic 
a stone lamb at her feet 
part the matted overgrowth 
to read the carven elegy 

some think it so haunting 
to be drawn to the cemetery ground 
as we 
there's a stillness here 
thankful found 

born in New Albion 
of Rice family elite 
wed to Myron Bilowe 
thrice with sons 
blessed was she 
some think it so haunting 
to be drawn to the cemetery ground 
as we 
God's acre is a fenced in 
hollow ground 

here soon to rise up 
Amelia tender and sweet 
her last words spoke 
all is well 
all is peace 

some think it so haunting 
to be drawn to the cemetery ground 
as we 
God's acre is a fenced in 
hollow ground
