Time Stands Still (On the Burying Ground) - A Jamateur Collab Hut Project

An original tune with lyrics by me and instrumental/vocal help from 8 of my friends on Cigar Box Nation

Performer Credits at the end. Thanks to all who participated and special thanks to Silent Jim for leading the project!.

Time Stands Still on the Burying Ground

Death heads on the stones
Marking spaces for ashes and bones
Was a young man walking round
He heard the voices whisper
time stands still
on the burying ground

Since 1600 years
Copp's Hill drowned in tears
400 years some bodies in the ground
He heard the voices whisper
time stands still
on the burying ground

Same here today
As the sad day in May
When they laid two sick children in the ground
He heard the voices whisper
time stands still
on the burying ground

Time has passed around the trees
And the old fence marking a boundary
Leaving it's mark on all that surround
He heard the voices whisper
time stands still
on the burying ground

Death heads on the stones
Marking spaces for ashes and bones
Was an old man walking round
He heard the voices whisper
time stands still
on the burying ground
