Black Country Communion - The Last Song For My Resting Place Lyrics






Mother, father, thank you so
For keeping the fires burning home
Brother, brother, for giving shelter
Throughout those years of war

Oh now that it's nearly over
After a long night in wait
I'd soothe every soul
With the last comfort, but mine

I believe in love and you need to know
That my heart's in your embrace
Now I'm leaving well but I bid farewell
One last song for my resting place

I grew up on a family farm
Where the wheat grows like gold
I played his music, he forgave my sins
As foretold in the books of old

Oh now that it's nearly over
After a long night in wait
I'd soothe every soul
With the last comfort, but mine

I believe in love and you need to know
That my heart's in your embrace
Now I'm leaving well but I bid farewell
One last song for my resting place

Dear Maria, enjoy your life
You've always known that
I'm by your side

These are fortunes worse than war
Beyond my reach and I have no more

My father said upon his death
Son, don't shed a tear for me
Mrs. Robinson my only life
Nearer to God than to thee

Oh now that it's nearly over
After a long night in wait
I'd soothe every soul
With the last comfort, but mine

I believe in love and you need to know
That my heart's in your embrace
Now I'm leaving well but I bid farewell
One last song for my resting place

My father said on his deathbed
Son, don't shed those tears for me
Mrs. Robinson oh you are my love
Nearer to God than to thee

Oh Maria, I loved you so
The heart grows fonder as I go

Please think of me as I sleep
From beyond the ship into the deep

    These guys just popped up in my Spotify queue after listening to the Rival Sons and boy am I happy about it!

  41. e.... p....

    Awesome stuff, Joe bonamassa, go figure. Love it.

  42. R.... ....

    Joe Rocked this tune on KTBA III Cruise. He noted the irony introducing the song.

  43. p.... c....

    Amazing tribute to the band members who played for the passengers of the Titanic until it sank in 1912.

  44. P.... J....

    The entire album is incredibly beautiful. I love listening to it. This song makes you emotional because it is so well done and so sad. BCC is so good.

  45. g.... m....

    Jenny (Rodriguez) Rulifson 1952-2017 my Soul mate

  46. K.... B....

    Sounds like Deep Purple Come taste the band

  47. S.... H....

    Joe Bonamassa is a god.

  48. T.... M....

    Loveit...

  49. A.... E....

    This is the best song of 2017. 4 legends where the sum is greater than the parts. Incredible.

  50. a.... k....

    Ibet the idiots that doesn't like this,they didn't even listen to this at all!

  51. C.... S....

    That solo tone and the scales Joe chooses to play in, reminds me of Mr Blackmore.

  52. �.... ....

    After sounds like Deep purple and Zeppelin, this one sounds like Rainbow. Srsly, if a local band makes music like this, I'll think it's pretty good, but these r fucking famous rock stars, all u guys can do is getting together and sounding like other famous bands ? I don't get it.

  53. C.... ....

    these arrangements are so uninspiring , I can’t quite put it into words.

  54. b.... ....

    A instant classic by awesome musicians in tribute to those brave musicians who played till the end on the Titanic 1912

  55. w.... ....

    in the current wasteland that is pop culture in the modern west, this song in particular (and this album in general) is a welcome sign that true artistic genius is still out there

  56. g.... m....

    Jenny(Rodriguez)Rulifson 1952-2017

  57. P.... W....

    What a great song. Who are the 24 morons who gave it a thumbs down? lol

  58. L.... S....

    I will pray for u brother...I promise what a great record u have made. AND YOUR.guitar Solo my GOD..

  59. c.... g....

    one of the best tracts I have herd for a long long time

  60. 9.... ....

    After the Titanic hit an iceberg and began to sink, Hartley and his fellow band members started playing music to help keep the passengers calm as the crew loaded the lifeboats. Many of the survivors said that Hartley and the band continued to play until the very end. One second-class passenger said:

    Many brave things were done that night, but none were more brave than those done by men playing minute after minute as the ship settled quietly lower and lower in the sea. The music they played served alike as their own immortal requiem and their right to be recalled on the scrolls of undying fame.

  61. W.... ....

    That ascending legato in the solo... seems like Joe has been listening to Dave Murray! LOL.

  62. R.... ....

    Brilliant. Great song of an album that should be more valued.

  63. m.... c....

    Almost as good as empire of the clouds by maiden

  64. M.... ....

    Brilliant piece of music. Had to listen twice. Up there with the best that I have listened to.

  65. B.... R....

    awesome!!

  66. D.... L....

    cracking song and JB is fantastic.

  67. P.... T....

    Powerful drums, guitar , vocals such a beautiful song 8 min long and still want it more, brilliant job 👍

  68. D.... E....

    My current favourite track it has it all.😉

  71. D.... M....

    Perfection Achieved.period.

  72. T.... D....

    Wonderfull, Magical, Perfect!

  73. �.... �....

    Здорово - очень даже ничего ... 🎸 💐🍺

  74. �.... �....

    Don't let Joe sing ever again please

  75. 1.... ....

    The Hard Rock SuperGroup of the 21st Century. I have been a fan of Glenn Hughes since the early 70's when I was rockin' to "TRAPEZE" & now I am still listening to the "Voice of Rock" with his best band since the "Deep Purple Mark III." Days. Great Band & album..

  76. R.... 6....

    Jb phenomenal as always, top notch musicians all of them, when's the US Dates?

  77. g.... m....

    Jenny (Rodriguez) Rulifson
    for U !THEY SHOULD HAVE REGROUPED WHILE YOU WERE STILL ON EARTH !

  78. D.... D....

    Joe's Voice is coming of age

  79. i.... ....

    AMAZING... UAHHHHHH THE FUCK FOUR HORSEMEN...SUBLIME SUBLIME...QUE ELEGANCIA Y CLASE...MUSICAZOS DONDE LOS HAYA

  80. L.... M....

    magic!!!!

  81. D.... M....

    May God give their souls rest

  82. L.... B....

    God bless us all..

  83. M.... B....

    Fucking Brilliant ! The World Class Musicians of Black Country Communion NEVER disappointing !! Always sweet music to this old rockers ears !!✌from Utah.

  84. M.... W....

    Simply amazing...

  85. A.... N....

    with glenn there, why is this clown singing?

    A.... N....

    Because Joe is an incredibly awesome singer. Wouldn't call one of them the better one, they're just quite different, but perfectly complementing one another in this band. For the feel and tune in this song, Joe's voice certainly fits better. In the more agressive tunes, I prefer Glenn, too.

  86. P.... R....

    really good

  87. l.... ....

    OMG... like a elettroshock

  88. T.... B....

    ....does Joe Bonamassa sleep? Dude puts out music like the sky puts out stars! And most of it SIZZLES! Keepin' the flame burnin' bright-BCC is proof that guitars are not extinct!

  89. V.... M....

    Best song of the past 30 years......Great job by the whole band especially Joe with the great vocals and guitar work.

  90. D.... C....

    Oh my, this is SO good.

  91. z.... ....

    A brilliantly conceived and  elegant tribute to Wallace Henry Hartley and the other members of  'Titanic''s orchestra , for many years now, long time legends of the sea.  BCC has certainly captured the essence and emotion of their sacrifice in this piece.

  92. D.... G....

    Great Song !!! Cheers and Life On !!!

  93. Z.... H....

    Song by the band for those who love blues, Zeppelin, and Purple - for me, that is.

  94. c.... ....

    Damn that solo was brilliant!

    c.... ....

    Listening to the solo cured my erectile dysfunction ;)

  95. J.... P....

    Bonamassa is the best guitarists out there! This might be his best vocals ! Great guy !

  96. B.... B....

    savage solo!

    B.... B....

    ABSOLUTELY ASS SPLITTIN' SOLO-GOTTA WIPE TWO CRACKS NOW! Babay is on point!

  97. m.... ....

    Didn't know there was an official video! Amazing song. Amazing album. Amazing band.
    So glad they did a 4th album. I think BCC2 is their best, but this is right up there.
