[Verse 1] Oh mother, Im scared to die Where, where do my good deeds lie? Oh father, Im scared to live Takes more than Ive got to give Oh sister, my voice is weak Oh brother, I long for sleep Oh hunger, I know you well My cruel friend is a funeral bell [Chorus] And it rings in the day and it rings in the evening Oh, I could pray but it wont stop you leaving Shadow in black, you are grim from your reaping Oh, cant you spare just a day for the weeping? [Verse 2] Oh lover, I know youre there And Id follow you anywhere Oh, give me a hand to hold So that I may face the cold [Chorus] Cause it rings in the day and it rings in the evening Oh, I could pray but it wont stop you leaving Shadow in black, you are grim from your reaping Oh, cant you spare just a day for the weeping? Cause it rings in the day and it rings in the evening Oh, I could pray but it wont stop you leaving Shadow in black, you are grim from your reaping Oh, cant you spare just a day for the weeping? Oh, cant you spare just a day for the weeping?
