I Am Weary (Let Me Rest)

Kiss me, mother, kiss your darling Lay my head upon your breast Fold your loving arms around me I am weary, let me rest Seems the light is swiftly fading Brighter seams, they now do show I am standing by the river Angels wait to take me home Kiss me, mother, kiss your darling See the pain upon my brow For I'll soon be with the angels Faith has doomed my future now Through the years, you've always loved me And my life, you've tried to save But now I shall slumber sweetly In a deep and lonely grave Kiss me, mother, kiss your darling Lay my head upon your breast Fold your loving arms around me I am weary, let me rest
