Where the Black Lillies Grow

By Cruz Contreras

There’s a place on a hill where we use to meet
Making our plans love was so sweet
Where the tall pines sway and the green grass flows
Where the night birds sing and the black lillies grow

There’s a plot on a hill where we were to rest
Side by side through eternity blessed
But what once was joy and hope in the end
Has faded away and gave into death

Chorus

And I’ll go to my grave and I’ll lie down
In a bed for two under the ground
I’ll weep in vain for this I know
I’ll rest alone where the black lillies grow
I’ll rest alone where the black lilies grow

Don’t believe what you see
Don’t believe what you’re told
Don’t believe what feel
Don’t believe what you know

Cause it will all fall down, so let it all go
You’ll rest alone where the black lillies grow (4x)

(Chorus)

(Verse 1)
