I am stretched on your grave
|
And will lie there forever
|
With your hands held in mine
|
I'd be sure we'd not sever
|
My apple tree my brightness
|
'Tis time we were together
|
For I smell of the earth
|
And am stained by the weather
|
|
When my family thinks
|
That I'm safe in my bed
|
From night until morning
|
I am stretched at your head
|
Calling out to the air
|
With tears both hot and wild
|
Oh I grieve for the girl
|
That I loved as a child
|
|
The priests and the friars
|
Behold me in dread
|
Because I still love you
|
My love and you're dead
|
I would still be your shelter
|
From rain and from storm
|
And with you in your cold grave
|
I cannot sleep warm
|
|

|
I Am Stretched On Your Grave
|
| Dead Can Dance |
