LYRICS:
Her eyes were clipped tight
What a shaking sight
A terrible thing to see
That will always stick with me

They wrapped her up in cheap burlap
They left her there inside of some dirty gap
The people cried but once they left
They forgot all about that painful death

But oh, I can still see you there
I see both your eyes and your golden hair
Tell me stories of the land that's free of all despair
I'm not there now, but I hope I see you there.

I might be stuck forever in this hospital bed
The doctor told me somethin happened to my head
What a terrible place to be
This might be the end of me

They'll wrap me up in cheap burlap
They'll leave me in some dirty gap
I think someone might cry but once she's left
She'll forget about this painful death

But oh, I can still see you there
I see both your eyes and your golden hair
Tell me stories of the land that's free of all despair
I'm not there now, but I hope I see you there.

What a beautiful world
What are we going to do with it?
What a beautiful girl
Why did she go through with it?
This place is full of rotten slaves
While precious things will rot in graves

But oh, I can still see you there
I see both your eyes and your golden hair
Tell me stories of the land that's free of all despair
I'm not there now, but I hope I see you there.

What a beautiful world
What are we going to do with it?
What a beautiful girl
Why did she go through with it?
This place is full of rotten slaves
While precious things will rot in graves

But oh, I can still see you there
I see both your eyes and your golden hair
Tell me stories of the land that's free of all despair
I'm not there now, but I hope I see you there.
