Testo Lorena - Del McCoury
Testo della canzone Lorena (Del McCoury), tratta dall'album Divided & United: The Songs of the Civil War
Oh, the years creep slowly by, Lorena
The snow is on the ground again
The sun's low down the sky, Lorena
The frost gleams where the flowers have been
But the heart beats on as warmly now
As when the summer days were nigh
Oh, the sun can never dip so low
Down affection's cloudless sky
A hundred months have passed, Lorena
Since last I held thy hand in mine
And felt thy pulse beat fast, Lorena
Though mine beat faster for than thine
A hundred months 'twas flowery May
When up the hilly slope we climbed
To watch the dying of the day
And hear the distant church bell chime
We loved each other then, Lorena
Far more than we ever dared to tell
And what we might have been, Lorena
Had but our loving prospered well
But then 'tis past, the years are gone
I'll not call up their shadowy forms
I'll say to them, "Lost years, sleep on
Sleep on, nor heed life's pelting storms"
It matters little now, Lorena
The past is in the eternal past
Our heads will soon lie low, Lorena
Life's tide is ebbing oh so fast
There is a future, oh thank God
Of life this is so small a part
'Tis dust to dust beneath the sod
But there, up there 'tis heart to heart
