Old Village Churchyard - Lyrics - Faun Fables
Faun Fables is an American band from Oakland, California. Faun Fables is a concept and vehicle for Dawn McCarthy, who was inspired to write the original material while traveling after leaving the New York City music scene in 1997. Faun Fables also covers 20th century compositions by other song writers and traditional folk songs. The music on the first album is entirely by McCarthy, as are all lyrics and most of the music on Mother Twilight. All albums except for the first are collaborations with Nils Frykdahl, inspired by McCarthy's previous work and "Dawn the Faun" stage persona.

In the dear
Old village churchyard
I can see a
Messy mound
There is where
My mother's sleeping
In the
Cold and silent ground
I was young
But I remember
I was young
But I remember
Well, the night my mother died
The night my mother died
I could see her spirit fading
(I could see
Her spirit fading)
When she called me to her side
(When she, yeah
Called me to her side)
Saying, "Darling I must leave you"
Angels' voices guide you on
Pray that we may meet in heaven
Where your mother's dead and gone
On the grave of
My dear mother
Darkness finds me
Weeping there
