Lina Tullgren - Side B: Lina Tullgren "The Dying Californian"

from CS Yeh & Lina Tullgren (CAT 001) by C. Spencer Yeh and Lina Tullgren

lyrics

Lay up nearer, brother, nearer
For my limbs are growing old
And thy presence seemeth nearer
When thine arms around me fold
I am dying, brother, dying
Soon you'll miss me in your berth
For my form will soon be lying
'Neath the oceans briny surf
Tell my father when you see him
That in death I prayed for him
Prayed that I might only meet him
In a world that's free of sin
Tell my mother, God assist her
Now that she is growing old
That her child would glad have kissed her
When his lips grew pale and cold
Will you gain what I've lost?
On this broken journey of trust
Carry my soul back home
Paint me the land of our childhood
Tell me of love in their hearts
Show me the strength of our fathers
As you linger while I depart
And if death does not shine behind the white
Clouds…
