Under The Yew

What's this song about?

1
The shadows grow long in the churchyard
2
As the skylarks fly away
3
And lost to the loam, all the dreams we'll never know
4
We'll dream them there one day
5
I've sung the hymn from its first bars
6
And I fought my way through the gameplan
7
Now for all the world I feel like a little girl
8
But I'll do my best to be a man
9
Rook on the bough, what tales have you to tell me
10
From over the stile and the hills of this evening view?
11
If only these stones, quiet in the moon, would allay my fears
12
And we could have dreams asleep under the yew
13
Into the past go our futures
14
In running streams will our thoughts flow
15
Unto the earth, the sum of all our worth
16
And the seasons that we'll never know
17
And that garden we'll never grow
18
Rook, fly away from your bough into the night sky
19
And carry our prayers on your wings up to the moon,
20
And watch the world spin until we've all had our turn
21
And it's time to go home
22
Back to the earth to sleep under the yew
23
Safe in the earth asleep under the yew
