So we lay here to rest

So we lay here with the ground beneath our heads


And not a word amoung us has been said

My little child



Now the dogs are barking tonight

Now the men will bargain

As they stand beneath the light

Everythign is colder here tonight

My little child



I've never been so worn and weary

I've never missed my love so dearly

My little child



And I cannot forget the things I saw

I cannot forget the way they gathered in the halls

And standing all alone before them all

My little child



Somewhere there is laughter tonight

Somewhere there is singing in the choir in the light

But it's quiet in Jerusalem tonight

But it's quiet in Jerusalem tonight

But it's quiet in Jerusalem tonight

My little child



I've never been so worn and weary

I've never missed my love so dearly

My little child



So we lay here to rest

So we lay here with the ground beneath our heads

And not a word amoung us has been said

My little child

My little child

My little child
