WOODS OF YPRES - I Was Buried In Mount Pleasant Cemetery lyrics

rate me

I was buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, alone and unceremoniously<br />

... Buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, when life was taken from me<br />

<br />

Our tree was full and green, I had to leave it<br />

The sadness was overwhelming, <br />

To be alone beneath it<br />

<br />

The sun came down hot and hard, I could never sleep<br />

To disappear was the only way I could find relief<br />

<br />

When I was buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, alone and un-Sarah-moniously<br />

... Buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, when life was taken so suddenly<br />

<br />

First I paid my respects to Glenn Gould<br />

Then I visited the grave of Alexander Muir<br />

Next to Eaton's tomb, I hung my head and cried<br />

Looking for Joseph Mulgrew, I gave up and died<br />

<br />

When I was buried... <br />

<br />

The birds sang, the flowers in bloom, spring had just begun<br />

Recently fitted for a suit, now lying in a box<br />

By summer, I was gone, my remains stolen from the ground<br />

My body never recovered and I was never found<br />

... Until now<br />

<br />

I was buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, alone and unceremoniously<br />

<br />

Buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, between the monuments and trees<br />

At the heart of the city, Amongst the statues and fountains<br />

New life could begin, where the old path I ran came to and end<br />

<br />

[David Gold Version 1.9, June 19th 1980 - May 11th, 2007 Aged 26]<br />

<br />

I was buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, alone and unceremoniously<br />

... Buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, when life was taken from me
