Natalie Merchant – Because I Could Not Stop For Death lyrics
Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality
We slowly drove, he knew no haste,
And I had put away
My labor, and my leisure too,
For his civility
We passed the school where children played
At wrestling in a ring
We passed the fields of gazing grain,
We passed the setting sun
We paused before a house that seemed
A swelling in the ground
The roof was scarcely visible,
The cornice but a mound
Since then ’tis centuries but each
Feels shorter than the day
I first surmised the horses’ heads
Were toward eternity
Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality
He kindly stopped for me
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality
We slowly drove, he knew no haste,
And I had put away
My labor, and my leisure too,
For his civility
We passed the school where children played
At wrestling in a ring
We passed the fields of gazing grain,
We passed the setting sun
We paused before a house that seemed
A swelling in the ground
The roof was scarcely visible,
The cornice but a mound
Since then ’tis centuries but each
Feels shorter than the day
I first surmised the horses’ heads
Were toward eternity
Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality
