One Last Song

Sing me one last song
That will carry me away
To the warm summer memory of home
And that old melody
Softly echoes on the breeze
To a pathway that I must walk alone
I have loved, I have lain
On the dewey morning fields
With a cloud of apple blossom in the air
So lay me down
I’m weary of the cries and distant drums
One last farewell
The time for endless sleep will come
Sing me one last song
As the evening shadows fall
From the Gold chariot reaching from the West
Raise up one last glass
As I hear the boatman call
And an old song will carry me to rest
I have loved, I have lain
On the dewey morning fields
With a cloud of apple blossom in the air
So lay me down
I’m weary of the cries and distant drums
One last farewell
