[ti:Jacob's Dream]
[ar:Alison Krauss]
[00:13.64]In  the  spring  of 1856with  the  snow  still  on  the  ground
[00:21.56]Two  little  boys  were  lost  in  the  mountains  above  the  town
[00:29.89]The  father  went  out  hunting  the  boys  had  stayed  behind
[00:37.82]While  mother  tended  to  her  chores  they  wandered  from  her  side.
[00:55.58]The  two  had  gone  to  follow  him  and  lost  their  way  instead
[01:03.21]By  dusk  the  boys  had  not  been  found  and  fear  had  turned  to  dread
[01:11.32]Two-hundred  men  had  gathered  there  to  comb  the  mountain  side
[01:19.11]The  fires  were  built  on  the  highest  peak  in  hopes  they'd  see  the  light.
[01:27.43]Oh,mommy  and  daddy  why  can't  you  hear  our  cries
[01:34.06]The  day  is  almost  over,soon  it  will  be  night
[01:41.90]We're  so  cold  and  hungry  and  our  feet  are  tired  and  sore
[01:49.86]We  promise  not  to  stray  again  from  our  cabin  door.
[02:07.88]Now  Jacob  Diverd  woke  one  night  from  a  strange  and  erie  dream
[02:15.80]He  saw  a  path  between  two  hills  near  a  dark  and  swollen  stream
[02:23.72]He  told  his  wife  he  saw  the  boys  huddled  close  beside  a  log
[02:31.57]For  two  more  nights  the  dream  returned  this  vision  sent  from  God.
[02:40.01]Oh,mommy  and  daddy  why  can't  you  hear  our  cries
[02:46.82]The  day  is  almost  over,soon  it  will  be  night
[02:54.62]We're  so  cold  and  hungry  and  our  feet  are  tired  and  sore
[03:02.25]We  promise  not  to  stray  again  from  our  cabin  door.
[03:33.31]A  thousand  men  had  searched  in  vain  the  west  side  of  pop's  creek
[03:40.97]But  Jacob's  wife  knew  of  this  place  and  said  to  travel  east
[03:49.14]With  a  guide  to  take  him  there,Jacob  came  upon  the  scene
[03:57.13]And  found  the  boys  cold  and  still  beneath  the  old  birch  tree.
[04:03.01]Oh,mommy  and  daddy,look  past  the  tears  you  cry
[04:12.00]We're  both  up  in  Heaven  now,God  is  by  our  side
[04:20.31]As  you  lay  us  down  to  rest  in  the  presence  of  the  Lord
[04:28.33]Know  that  we  will  meet  you  here  at  Heaven's  door.
[04:36.21]Oh,mommy  and  daddy,look  past  the  tears  you  cry
[04:43.06]We're  both  up  in  Heaven  now,God  is  by  our  side
[04:50.97]And  as  you  lay  us  down  to  rest  in  the  presence  of  the  Lord
[04:59.30]Know  that  we  will  meet  you  here  at  Heaven's  door...
