Lyrics

I AM NO WEEPING WILLOW
I AM NO FRAGILE FLOWER
TO BE TAKEN BY THE FROST
OR BY THE LATENESS OF THE HOUR
I HAVE LIVED IN CONSTERNATION
OF THE ROAD AHEAD FOR ME
AND DESPITE THAT I CAN'T SEE THAT FAR
THERE ARE SOME THINGS I CAN SEE
YOU WON'T DIG MY GRAVE
YOU WON'T DIG MY GRAVE
I HAVE LIVED AMONG THE ANGELS
YOU NEVER WERE THAT BRAVE
YOU WON'T DIG MY GRAVE
YOU WON'T DIG MY GRAVE
I HAVE BEEN UP TO THE MOUNTAIN
THERE ARE THINGS YOU CAN'T TAKE
FROM THAT MORNING BY THE RIVER
WHERE ONCE I TOUCHED HER HEM
TO MY MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN
WITHOUT A SOLITARY FRIEND
THE ROCK OF MY SALVATION
WAS THE GIRL WHO TOOK MY HAND
YOU'VE NEVER BEEN LOVED THE WAY I HAVE
YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND
YOU WON'T DIG MY GRAVE
YOU WON'T DIG MY GRAVE
I HAVE LIVED AMONG THE ANGELS
YOU NEVER WERE THAT BRAVE
YOU WON'T DIG MY GRAVE
YOU WON'T DIG MY GRAVE
I HAVE BEEN UP TO THE MOUNTAIN
THERE ARE THINGS YOU CAN'T TAKE
I'M TOLD THERE'S MANY MANSIONS
I AM NOT AFRAID TO GO
BUT THE CALL THAT I AM WAITING ON
WILL NOT COME FROM BELOW
MY ANGEL SUFFERS NO FOOLS
I AM HERS AND SHE IS MINE
AND WOE BETIDE THE MAN WHO TRIES
TO TAKE ME FORE MY TIME
YOU WON'T DIG MY GRAVE
YOU WON'T DIG MY GRAVE
I HAVE LIVED AMONG THE ANGELS
YOU NEVER WERE THAT BRAVE
YOU WON'T DIG MY GRAVE
YOU WON'T DIG MY GRAVE
I HAVE BEEN UP TO THE MOUNTAIN
THERE ARE THINGS YOU CAN'T TAKE
