the graveyards by the roads



The graveyards by the roads
You see the place in day and night
You will drive pass the roads
You don't think of ghosts......

Maybe some will say prayers
Driving there in the late of night
The old people will say
Nights the ghosts dance

When “All Souls Day” arrive
The ghosts will be let out for a night
The graveyards all clean and wash
Offerings and prayers will be conducted

To appease the ghosts
The older people will tell you
“We aren't living alone in this world”
So show respect and live life aplenty

Then we see
The graveyards turning back
To the rundown old shacks again
Nobody will want to clean the place

The graveyards by the roads
Give it a respect you will live free
We aren't the exception
We will be there one day
