We're all still here, no one has gone away Waiting, acting much too well and procrastinating The cross of the earth, the four winds point them Body to body sees to anoint them The reed, they brought him sponge and vinegar The fiery serpents spitting gold and cinnamon The moon was bleeding and stars were shallow And the sword that killed him was a sword of willow Hello I must be going well I only came to say I hear my mother calling and I must be on my way Oh I remember it all from before The winter and the midnight could not hold him The fire could not burn him nor earth enfold him Rise up Lazarus, sweet and salty Brother soldiers, stop your gambling and talk to me The thieves were stealers but reason condemned him And the grave was empty where they had laid him Hello I must be going well I only came to say I hear my mother calling and I must be on my way Oh I remember it all from before Why heroes die at sunrise? Why the birds are arrows of the wise? Why each perfumed flower? Why each moment has its hour? It's you, it's all true Stranger than that we're alive, stranger than that, stranger than that Stranger than that we're alive Whatever you think, it's more than that, more than that Happy man, happy man doing the best he can, doing the best he can Happy man, happy man doing the best he can, doing the best he can Oh happy man Keep on walking where the angels showed All will be one, all will be one Traveling where the saints have trod Over to the old golden land The golden angel wrote my name Over in the old golden land I won't need to kiss you when we're there All will be one, all will be one I won't need to miss you when we're there Over in the old golden land The golden angel wrote my name Over in the old golden land We'll understand it better in the sweet bye and bye All will be one, all will be one You won't need to worry and you won't have to cry Over in the old golden land The golden angel wrote my name Over in the old golden land
