Lilydale Lyrics - 10,000 Maniacs

Come as we go far away 

From the noise of the street 

Walk a path so narrow 

To a place where we feel at ease 

Some think iit's so haunting 

To be drawn to the 

Cemetery ground, as we 

There's a stillness here 

Thankful found 

Child's pose angelic 

A stone lamb at her feet 

Part the matted overgrowth 

To read the carved-in elegy 

Some think it so haunting 

To be drawn to the 

Cemetery ground, as we 

There's a stillness here 

Thankful found 

Born in New Albion 

Of Rice family elite 

Wed to Myron Bilowe 

Thrice with sons 

Blessed was she 

Some think it so haunting 

To be drawn to the 

Cemetery ground, as we 

God's acre is a fenced in 

Hollow ground 

Here soon to rise up 

Amelia, tender and sweet 

Her last words spoke 

All is well, all is peace 

Some think it so haunting 

To be drawn to the 

Cemetery ground, as we 

God's acre is a fenced in 

Hollow ground
