Lyrics

Based on a poem by w. b. yeats

That lover of a night
Came when he would
Went in the dawning light
Whether I would or no;
Men come, men go;
All things remain in god
All things remain in god

Banners choke the sky;
Men-at-arms tread;
Armoured horses neigh
In the narrow pass:
All things remain in god
All things remain in god

I had wild jack for a lover;
Though like a road
That men pass over
My body makes no moan
But sings on:
All things remain in god
All things remain in god

Before their eyes a house
That from childhood stood
Uninhabited, ruinous
Suddenly lit up
From door to top:
All things remain in god
All things remain in god

Oh, that lover of a night
Came when he would
Went in the dawning light
Whether I would or no;
Men come, men go;
All things remain in god
All things remain in god

All things remain in god
All things remain in god
All things remain in god
