SILVER MOON 2007

Rev. 21:4

(T.Kejklíček, instrumental)

SILVER MOON 2007

 

"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death,

neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away"

And Am I Born To Die?

(traditional, based on: Charles Wesley, 1763)

SILVER MOON 2007

 

1. And am I born to die
to lay this body down
and must my trembling spirit fly
into a world unknown

2. A land of deepest shade
unpierced by human thought
that dreary region of the dead
where all things are forgot

3. Soon as from Earth I go
what will become of me
eternal hapiness or woe
must then my portion be

 

Oh, I Fool

(T.Kejklíček, 9-10-2006)

SILVER MOON 2007

 

1. I must say you`ve always been
my sweet, sweet darling
and I know all your love`s
been so true
and all the time you`ve always been
the best of friends, you`ve understood me
now there`s another man
by your side here with you

Ch: Oh I fool I`ve neve told you how I love you
and now it`s late and there`s nothing I can do
I can feel how I want you here with me
I can feel how I miss your company

2. Oh I`ve got to take it granted
that time, time`s rolling
changing things, leaving nothing
but the blues
oh I know you`ve got your life
and your pathway you`re going
but I`m sure that in my heart
I will keep my love to you

Ch:

Ch:

That´s the Upper Home

(T.Kejklíček, 4-2006)

SILVER MOON 2007

 

1. The cold and chilly wind on the mountain
silence down here in a valley deep
a heart spouts tears like a fountain
and a tired soul wants to sleep

Ch: The dream so sweet shows a city
its walls and streets and roofs just pure gold
there ain`t no town here such pretty
there`s no doubt, that`s the upper home

2. The blind and busy crowd somewhere rushing
nothing they know, understand and see
a heart must bear a lot of suffering
and a tired soul wants to sleep

Ch:

 

The Graveyard on the Hill

(K.Stránska, T.Kejklíček, 6-2005)

SILVER MOON 2007

 

1. There`s a place on the hill
with the graveyard in the shade
with the walls of the silent church
spreading trees close by the gate
they remember all the stories
that`ve passed through this place
you can listen to their whispering
they`ll tell you about people`s fates

Ch: Mystery of the past times
holds me back here for the rest of my life
if I ever left this place
I would die because of pain

2. Lots of names and dates on the tombstones
lost in the meadow in the grass
many souls rest there in silent peace
keeping mystery of this place
often met here two sweethearts long ago
their secret love still remains
I can feel it deep in my heart and soul
though it`s a matter of long passed days

Sing Glory

(T.Kejklíček, 8-2002, 2007 version)

SILVER MOON 2007

 

1. Sing glory, shout praises, sing hallelujah
give all your praises to the Lord, to the Lord
the only true friend of us is Jesus
He died on that cross and shed His blood for me

2. I ain`t got no friend down here, down here
I ain`t got no friend so faithful and real
the only true friend of us is Jesus
He died on that cross and shed His blood for me

3. You`ll never have no friend down here, down here
you`ll never have no friend so faithful and real
the only true friend of us is Jesus
He died on that cross and shed His blood for me

4. Sing glory, shout praises, sing hallelujah
give all your praises to the Lord, to the Lord
the only true friend of us is Jesus
He died on that cross and shed His blood for me

 

And the Life Is O´er

(T.Kejklíček, 3-2006)

SILVER MOON 2007


1. Here`s a baby cryin`
just today `t`s been born
in a cradle lyin`
an` the first day`s o`er

2. A little child`s a-toddlin`
`round the kitchen door
"Mummy, mum" a-prattlin`
`n` another day is o`er

3. Fast ahead a-runnin`
all the schol days go
children games an` learnin`
`n` another day is o`er

4. Here`s the first love comin`
stirred is blood `n` soul
cheeks are red, hearts beatin`
`n` another day is o`er

5. Wedding bells were ringin`
they have changed life all
family care an` workin`
`n` another day is o`er

6. Children good-bye sayin`
they`re leavin` home
an` the heart is achin`
`n` another day is o`er

7. Old age, pain an` mournin`
all the friends are gone
bitter tears are fallin`
and soon the last day`s o`er

SILVER MOON 2007

 

1. When my heart feels but pain
and my soul is down and low
I`m so glad you`re my friend
silver Moon
you can always ease my mind
soothe my soul in your light
and for each your gentle touch
thank you much
silver Moon

Ch: Silver Moon (shining so bright)
silver Moon (shining so bright)
I can tell you all my secrets
all my troubles
of my days (of my days)
silver Moon (shining so bright)
silver Moon (shining so bright)
only you you`re my true friend
never changing your face (silver Moon)

 

Is That You Who´s Digging on My Grave?

(T.Kejklíček, 4-2005, based on Thomas Hardy-Ah, Are You Digging on my Grave, 1914)

SILVER MOON 2007

 

1. Is that you who`s digging on my grave
is that you, dear, who`s planting flowers there
no, yesterday he went to wed
he told himself "I don`t regret
it cannot hurt her heart cause she`s dead"

2. Tell me then who`s digging on my grave
my dearest kin who`re planting flowers there
no, not al all they thik "What use?
what good will planting flowers produce
from Death`s hands her spirit we can`t loose"

3. But someone there is digging on my grave
my enemy who couldn`t stand my face
no, when she heard you`d passed the Gate
she thought you`re no more worth her hate
she doesn` t care you lie in your grave

4. Tell me then who`s digging on my grave
oh tell me please because I haven`t guessed
oh it`s me, my mistress dear
your litle dog who still lives near
I hope I`ve not disturbed your rest down here

5. Oh yes that`s you who`s digging on my grave
my faithful dog it seems my only friend
to your clean and faithful heart
nothing`s equal in humankind
I`m so moved you still keep me on your mind

6. Oh, mistress dear, I dug upon your grave
to bury here a bone in this place
in case I should be hungry near this spot
when passing on my daily trot
I`m sorry, `twas your grave, I`ve quite forgot

 

I´m on My Way Alone

(T.Kejklíček, 13-9-1997, a-capella version)

SILVER MOON 2007

 

C1. Blues in my soul and coulds in the sky
shadows on the pathway I`m on
I`m serching for the truth, not advice of a man
I`m on the way it seems alone

Ch: I don`t understand the people around
I don`t understand as before
at last I don`t wait for helping of a man
I`m on the way it seems alone

2. God oh my God, show me your will
how long will you hide your face
God oh my God, my soul is too tired
my heart longs for You all my days

Ch:

3. I`m waiting for You, just Your holy word
can lead me the way right on
been waiting You too long, oh my Lord
I`m on the way it seems alone

Ch:
