DIn the burning light of Gdawn
EmIn the stillness of the mDorning
GHe held her close he Gkissed herD eyes
CUnder a blanket of lGiving skDies.
DThey were lovers all through Gschool
EmThey always were toDgether
GAnd on her hand a gGolden rDing
CWithin which sGat foDrever.
DBut a young man's heart is Gbrave
DThe same brave boy she Gwed
EmHas gone away in Duniform
GSleeps in a soldier’Cs bed.
DIn the colors of the GEast
EmIn the blazing light of mCorning
GShe dreamed of lands in a sGweet suDnrise
CHere in a land of liGving skDies.
DSo when the reverend came to cGall
EmShe did not need to anDswer
GShe knew he'd met with hGis deDmise
CGone to the land of the liGving skDies.
DShe put on her good clGothes
DShe stood out on the rGise
EmShe called his name alDoud
GAnd these were his repClies.
DThere is no more anger hGere
EmNor is there cause for mDourning
GIn the untamed wheat and the feGral rDise
CHere in the land of the liGving skDies.
DGrieve not for we who lGive
EmIn the amber dawn of moDrning
GIn the untamed wheat and the feGral rDise
CHere in the land of the liGving skDies
CHere in the land of the liGving skDies
CHere in the land of the liDving skGies
