Delaware
Music & Lyrics Copyright 2012 by Larry Knox
As the snow falls
boots echo down hallowed halls
handle me with care
as I lie in Delaware
As the robin sings
and the church bells ring
lilac fills the air
remember me in Delaware
The cost of freedom
is paid in blood–
the loss you're grieving
may be healed from above
So if you hum this tune
under an amish harvest moon
consider this my prayer
for those bound for Delaware
Now take me home
Dignified Transfer
