Stretched On Your Grave |
| I am stretched on your grave |
| And I'll lie here forever |
| If your hands were in mine |
| I'd be sure they would not sever |
| My apple tree, my brightness |
| It's time we were together |
| For I smell of the earth |
| And am worn by the weather |
| When my family thinks |
| That I'm safely in my bed |
| From morn until night |
| I am stretched at your head |
| Calling out to the earth |
| With tears hot and wild |
| For the loss of the girl |
| That I loved as a child |
| Do you remember the night |
| Oh, the night we were lost |
| In the shade of the blackthorn |
| And the cold chill of frost |
| Oh, and thanks be to Jesus |
| We did all that was right |
| And your maiden head still |
| Is your pillar of light |
| The priests and the friars |
| They approach me in dread |
| Because I love you still |
| Oh, my love and you're dead |
| I still will be your shelter |
| Through rain and through storm |
| And with you in your cold grave |
| I cannot sleep warm |
| So I am stretched on your grave |
| And I'll lie here forever |
| If your hands were in mine |
| I'd be sure they would not sever |
| My apple tree, my brightness |
| It's time we were together |
| For I smell of the earth |
| And am worn by the weather |
