Stone And Sky

from A Bit Of Blue by Emily Maguire

/

lyrics

She’s alone in a cemetery
Skulls and bones underneath her feet
Used to be alive
Used to be

People just like you and me
Loving, living on these city streets
And now here they lie
Under stone and sky

She knows there’s a remedy
For hungry ghosts in a cemetery
She’s afraid of life
She’s afraid to die

Can you feel her stare
When no-one’s there
The black crows caw overhead
Will you take her hand
And lay her down
Back in her warm earthy bed

As the clouds go by
Under stone and sky

She’s alone in a cemetery
Standing under the willow tree
Can you read the stone
It says she died long ago
