Kate & Anna Mcgarrigle

Old Waits Carol

The moon shines bright and the stars give a light
A little before it is day
The Lord, our God, He forgave us
And bids us awake and pray

The life of man is but a span
And cut down in its flower
We're here today, tomorrow gone
The creatures of an hour

Today you may be alive and well
Worth many a thousand pound
Tomorrow dead and cold as clay

Your corpse laid underground

With one turf at thine head, oh man
And another at thy feet
Thy good deeds and thy bad, oh man
Will all together meet

My song is done, I must be gone
I can stay no longer here
God bless you all, both great and small
And send you a joyful new year
