There is a swing in the graveyard.

by McCollonough Ceili
(Ireland and the USA)

There is a swing in the grave yard because you passed away,
There is a swing in the grave yard where your body does lay.
There is a swing in the grave yard with one red rose,
There is a swing in the grave yard holding pain only a parent knows.
There is a swing in the grave yard carved out of stone,
There is a swing in the grave yard your body's final home.

I hope you are now swinging on a stream of moonlight
and watching us from heaven tonight.
