Alav Hashalom (May he rest in peace)

Lyrics

Cruel cold wind burns my face Grief it burns my soul On the wretched road to the holy place Where I?ll let my baby go Alav Hashalom Cradled with his brethren Alav Hashalom In the arms of heaven Alav Hashalom -- Alav Hashalom I?ll not forsake my faith Or lay my burden down A mother?s love reveals its strength On the road to Shasta town I?ll lay my face upon his grave Unto the earth reborn Scarred and stained with river clay I?ll journey evermore
