12 rainy sundays in a row – gravedigger’s eulogy testo

attendere prego...

i was born with a shovel in one hand
and a bouquet in the other

the sun it rose and set for me
the moon it waxed and waned for me
i knew this land like the backside of my hand

i fell in love with the clouds in the sky
how they danced, how they wept
no soul knew for whom but i

i fell in love with the hills of the land
rolling curves, endless vistas
in their valleys hollow i do stand

i fell in love with a woman
eyes of fire, a molten heart of gold
every night without her by my side leaves me aching, leaves me cold

i spent my days just loving her
every day was beautiful

the sun it rose and set for her
the moon it waxed and waned for her
the clouds they wept and danced for her
the land and i, we stood for her
death came and went for her

[instrumental]

i was born with a bouquet in one hand
and a shovel in the other

i keep my mind on her eyes
filled with love, filled with life
her kiss so sweet, nevermind the flies
now there’s cobwebs on our covers
and i sleep alone with her

every day, every night
i could keep from loving her like a c+ck could keep from crowing
