As I Lay Dying
16th December of '64 The beast is in Atlanta and he's headed for the shore And I came back home to fight for my sweet Tennessee We climbed this hill to neither run nor hide We were the anchor of Hood's left side Til the Yankees swarmed and nailed Colonel Shy to a tree
Ever since Franklin we've been fighting uninspired Now the clouds are heavy with the smoke of cannon fire Night is falling and a storm is blooming in the sky Near Carter House my brother fell Now here I lay gut-shot on this hill Nothing left to do but watch the rain and my time draw nigh
Oh the sky is crying Tears for me as I lay dying Chain lightning beckons me home Say farewell to this flesh and bone As I lay dying
I see the glow of burning bridges through the haze I hear the tracks being twisted by the Williamson Greys And at the hour of my death my heart swells with pride Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Wish I could see my wife and son one last time But I know she'll see that he grows up strong and fine And I will be waiting for them on the other side
Oh the sky is crying Tears for me as I lay dying Chain lightning beckons me home Say farewell to this flesh and bone As I lay dying
Oh so many thing left undone Oh so many things left unsaid Oh there's only moments left to ponder How precious and fragile this is before I give up the ghost
Oh the sky is crying Tears for me as I lay dying Chain lightning beckons me home Say farewell to this flesh and bone As I lay dying
