Sun of the Soul Songtext
von The Carter Family

When the sun of your life has gone down
And the clouds in the west turn to gold
Endless death will to you then have come
If the light has gone out in your soul

Oh, just think how in death you would feel
With the light growing dim in your soul
Oh, how long it will be, oh, how still
If the light has gone out in your soul


When you′ve come to the end of the way
And life's story for you has been told
Oh, how sad all to you will appear
If the light has gone out in your soul

Oh, just think how in death you would feel
With the light growing dim in your soul
Oh, how long it will be, oh, how still
If the light has gone out in your soul

When the chilly winds of death around you steal
And the sweat upon your brow is damp and cold
What a dread in your life you would feel
If the light has gone out in your soul


Oh, just think how in death you would feel
With the light growing dim in your soul
Oh, how long it will be, oh, how still
If the light has gone out in your soul
