I Am Stretched On Your Grave歌词

[00:01.05]I am stretched on your grave
[00:05.11]And I'll lie here forever
[00:08.75]If your hands were in mine
[00:12.46]I'd be sure they would not sever
[00:16.73]My apple tree, my brightness,
[00:20.49]It's time we were together
[00:23.99]For I smell of the Earth
[00:27.57]And I'm worn by the weather.
[00:32.51]
[00:33.37]When my family think
[00:37.18]That I'm safely in my bed
[00:40.73]Oh, from morn until night
[00:44.39]I am stretched out at your head
[00:48.27]Calling out unto the earth
[00:52.21]With tears hot and wild
[00:56.01]For the loss of a girl
[00:59.29]That I loved as a child.
[01:04.67]
[01:05.45]Do you remember the night
[01:08.74]Oh, the night when we were lost
[01:12.12]In the shade of the blackthorn
[01:16.49]And the touch of the frost?
[01:20.32]Oh, and thanks be to Jesus
[01:23.97]We did all that was right
[01:26.94]And your maidenhead still
[01:31.25]Is your pillar of light.
[01:46.76]
[01:51.33]Oh, the priests and the friars
[01:54.63]They approach me in dread
[01:58.07]Oh, for I love you still
[02:01.56]Oh, my life, and you're dead
[02:05.24]I still will be your shelter
[02:09.49]Through rain and through storm
[02:12.86]And with you in your cold grave
[02:16.69]I cannot sleep warm
[02:20.92]
[02:21.66]So I am stretched on your grave
[02:25.19]And I'll lie here forever
[02:28.94]If you hands were in mine
[02:32.67]I'd be sure they would not sever
[02:36.56]My apple tree, my brightness,
[02:40.28]It's time we were together
[02:43.86]For I smell of the Earth
[02:47.20]And I'm worn by the weather.
[02:53.42]
[02:56.42]
[02:59.34]End.
