The Old Oak
Verse 1
There’s a house on a hill with an old oak at the side
There’s a bridge down the way crossing a river that’s wide
And the green hills roll forever, it’s a beautiful sight
With a backdrop of mountains their tips covered white
Verse 2
There’s a house on a hill with an old oak at the side
Where I carved out our names with a small pocket knife
And the letters we etched in a timeless old tree
Say that I’ll always love you long past eternity
Chorus
I’ll soon be with you angel, this body grows tired
I’ll soon be with you angel for soon I’ll expire
I’ll soon be with you angel never then will we part
I’ll soon be with you angel be still my beating heart
Verse 3
There’s a house on a hill with an old oak at the side
And a single headstone marks the place where you lie
A chair by the side of your last resting place
Which I sit in for hours and just stare into space
Verse 4
There’s a house on a hill with an old oak at the side
Tended by a lost soul who hasn’t much time
It won’t be long now and we’ll be one again
There’s been so much pain since I lost you my friend
Chorus
I’ll soon be with you angel, this body grows tired
I’ll soon be with you angel for soon I’ll expire
I’ll soon be with you angel never then will we part
I’ll soon be with you angel be still my beating heart
