Movement Iii - Crypt Lyrics - Paul Mccartney

Shanty 

And so it was that I had grown 

Into a youth uncertain, thrown 

Amongst the lions and the lambs. 

To pass the time we watched the children dance. 

I used to come here when this place was a crypt. 

Now the music plays. 

Oh don't you sometimes wish they'd stick to the script 

As the local preacher says. 

Rain from heaven will blessings bring, 

Behold the harvest grown. r 

Ian from heaven falls down on you, 

But me, I feel alone.

Preacher (sympathetically) 

Alone. 

Shanty 

Alone. 

Preacher 

If they won't come to worship 

God in a church 

Something must be done. 

We have to instigate a nationwide search 

For a way to make it fun. 

Rain from heaven will blessings bring, 

Behold the harvest grown. 

Shanty and preacher 

Rain from heaven falls down on you, 

Shanty 

But me, I feel alone. 

Alone. 

Here now, 

What am I doing here now? 

Hear me, 

Why do you never hear me? 

Why do you never hear me? 

Mary dee (as half-ghost) 

I'll always be here. 

I'll never leave you. 

I'll always be in your mind. 

Dreams of the future, 

Ghosts of the past left behind. 

Women's chorus 

(ah) 

Shanty 

Thought I had a vision 

Lying in a graveyard, 

Thought I heard a melody inside. 

Could it be the future, 

Speaking with the voice of those who died? 

Thought I saw a kingdom, 

Happiness and laughter, 

Somewhere for an innocent to play. 

Is there any justice? 

Do these things still happen in this way? 

Mary dee 

Don't tell him no, 

It isn't fair. 

For he was told by those who know 

There was love everywhere. 

Shanty 

Love everywhere. 

Mary dee 

Now's the time to tell him, 

While his mother's crying. 

Break it to him gently as she weeps. 

Let him know his father 

Will be well looked after, where he sleeps. 

Chorus (ghosts) 

He's sleeping amongst us. 

He's in our dreams. 

Don't worry. he's with us now. 

Shanty 

Don't say it's so, 

It isn't fair. 

For I was told by those who know 

There was love everywhere. 

Alone.
