Saved In The Arms Lyrics

Saved In The Arms lyrics

They carried my old friend to
the church yard
My eyes cast slowly to the
ground
The preacher read him his last words
Then they lowered his body
down
Saved in the arms of my loved one
Saved on his gentle
breast
Saved in the arms of my loved one
I lay my weary head down to
rest
The church bell tolled for the rich man
The church bell tolled for
the poor
I shed a final tear for my old friend
For never will I see him
no more
Saved in the arms of my loved one
Saved on his gentle
breast
Saved in the arms of my loved one
I lay my weary head down to
rest
Gone are the days of Black Diamond
Gone is the beer and whiskey
too
I said a final prayer for my old friend
Then carried my body home to
you
Saved in the arms of my loved one
Saved on his gentle breast
Saved
in the arms of my loved one
I lay my weary head down to rest
Saved in the
arms of my loved one
Saved on his gentle breast
Saved in the arms of my
loved one
I lay my weary head down to rest
I lay my eary head to rest
