I Am Stretched on Your Grave歌词

[00:12.10]I am stretched on your grave
[00:16.83]And will lie there forever
[00:21.86]If your hands were in mine
[00:26.87]I'd be sure we'd not sever
[00:34.85]My apple tree my brightness
[00:40.76]It's time we were together
[00:49.98]For I smell of the earth
[00:54.69]And am worn by the weather
[01:05.38]When my family thinks
[01:12.23]That I'm safe in my bed
[01:16.39]From night until morning
[01:20.53]I am stretched at your head
[01:28.41]Calling out to the air
[01:34.93]With tears hot and wild
[01:38.34]My grief for the girl
[01:44.54]That I loved as a child
[01:55.13]Do you remember
[01:60.00]The night we were lost
[02:04.38]In the shade of the blackthorn
[02:09.17]And the chill of the frost
[02:16.98]Thanks be to Jesus
[02:23.17]We did what was right
[02:27.19]And your maiden head still
[02:32.14]Is your pillar of light
[02:43.82]The priests and the friars
[02:48.63]Approach me in dread
[02:53.23]Because I still love you
[02:58.31]My love and you're dead
[03:05.74]I still would be your shelter
[03:11.41]Through rain and through storm
[03:15.53]And with you in your cold grave
[03:21.45]I cannot sleep warm
[03:30.90]So I'm stretched on your grave
[03:36.31]And will lie there forever
[03:41.13]If you hands were in mine
[03:45.90]I'd be sure we'd not sever
[03:53.89]My apple tree my brightness
[04:00.07]It's time we were together
[04:09.46]For I smell of the earth
[04:14.23]And am worn by the weather.
