<pre><font size='+2'>THE GRAVE lyrics DON MCLEAN</font><br>The grave that they dug him had flowers <br />
 Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colors <br />
 And the brown earth bleached white <br />
 At the edge of his gravestone <br />
 He`s gone <br />
  <br />
 When the wars of our nation did beckon <br />
 The man, barely twenty, did answer the calling <br />
 Proud of the trust <br />
 That he placed in our nation <br />
 He`s gone <br />
  <br />
 But eternity knows him <br />
 And it knows what we`ve done <br />
  <br />
 And the rain fell like pearls <br />
 On the leaves of the flowers <br />
 Leaving brown, muddy clay <br />
 Where the earth had been dry <br />
  <br />
 And deep in the trench <br />
 He waited for hours <br />
 As he held to his rifle <br />
 And prayed not to die <br />
  <br />
 But the silence of night <br />
 Was shattered by fire <br />
 As the guns and grenades <br />
 Blasted sharp through the air <br />
  <br />
 One after another <br />
 His comrades were slaughtered <br />
 In the morgue of marines <br />
 Alone, standing there <br />
  <br />
 He crouched ever lower <br />
 Ever lower, with fear <br />
 `They can`t let me die <br />
 They can`t let me die here! <br />
  <br />
 I`ll cover myself <br />
 With the mud and the earth <br />
 I`ll cover myself <br />
 I know I`m not brave! <br />
  <br />
 The earth, the earth <br />
 The earth is my grave.` <br />
  <br />
 The grave that they dug him had flowers <br />
 Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colors <br />
 And the brown earth bleached white <br />
 At the edge of his gravestone <br />
 He`s gone<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/the_grave_lyrics-don_mclean.html" target='_blank'>THE GRAVE lyrics DON MCLEAN</a></pre>

Send "The Grave" Ringtone to your Cell

The grave that they dug him had flowers
Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colors
And the brown earth bleached white
At the edge of his gravestone
He`s gone

When the wars of our nation did beckon
The man, barely twenty, did answer the calling
Proud of the trust
That he placed in our nation
He`s gone

But eternity knows him
And it knows what we`ve done

And the rain fell like pearls
On the leaves of the flowers
Leaving brown, muddy clay
Where the earth had been dry

And deep in the trench
He waited for hours
As he held to his rifle
And prayed not to die

But the silence of night
Was shattered by fire
As the guns and grenades
Blasted sharp through the air

One after another
His comrades were slaughtered
In the morgue of marines
Alone, standing there

He crouched ever lower
Ever lower, with fear
`They can`t let me die
They can`t let me die here!

I`ll cover myself
With the mud and the earth
I`ll cover myself
I know I`m not brave!

The earth, the earth
The earth is my grave.`

The grave that they dug him had flowers
Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colors
And the brown earth bleached white
At the edge of his gravestone
He`s gone
