Lofty Paradise

When your skin is sallow
And hell fills your hollow
Your soul is fallow
You find it hard to follow
When grace is all that will suffice
Know that today you'll be with me...
In paradise

When your bones have lost its marrow
You find it hard to swallow
Your string bends an arrow
To shoot a song of sorrow
When all your virtues veils your vice
Know that today you'll be with me...
In paradise

When your bed's become a harrow
And tears soak your pillow
When lying with the farrow
Hung your harp on the willow
Know that you're the apple of my golden eyes
And I'll be taking you with me...
To paradise

I've hung there beside thee
And heard thine cries
My heart revives in thee
To make thee wise
I rolled away a stone
Came and dried your eyes
Forever you are with me...
In paradise

I've bought thee from the damned
To save thee from the gallow
To see my precious lamb
Never fall like the sparrow
For my beloved city in the autumn skies
Forever thine and thee my lofty...
Paradise
