I'll chase 'em to the bottom 'Til I've finally caught 'em Dreams fall deep Where voices come a-chimin' Moanin' and a-rhymin' Warning me-- their words are Ringin' and a-whinin' Hear 'em weep
Songs from so deep While I'm sleepin' Seep in Sweepin' over me Still the echo's achin' "Leave us not forsaken"
So sad, and so true That even shadows come And hum the requiem
Oh waters of the moon Your vapors swirls and swoon Your wake is wide And sorrow's like an arrow Shootin' straight and narrow Aimin' true, its sting goes Reachin' to the marrow Silence cried
Now songs from so deep While I'm sleepin' Seep in Sweepin' over me Still the echo's achin' "Leave us not forsaken"
