Lyrics
The wind is blowing cross the mountains
And out on the valley way below.
It sweeps the grave of my darling
When I die that's where I want to go.
Lord, send the angels for my darling
And take her to that home on high
I'll wait my time out here on earth love
And come to you when I die.
I hear a voice out in the darkness
It moans and whispers through the pines
I know it's my sweetheart a calling
I hear her through the walls of time.
Our names are carved upon a tombstone
I promised you before you died
Our love will bloom forever darling
When we rest side by side.About This Song
Walls of Time is a classic Peter Rowan composition (though often mistakenly called traditional) that became a bluegrass standard after being recorded by the Seldom Scene and later by Del McCoury. It's a gospel-tinged song with a haunting melody that's become a jam session favorite.
