I Am Stretched On Your Grave lyrics

I am stretched on your graveAnd I'll lie here foreverIf you hands were in mineI'd be sure they would not severMy apple tree, my brightness,It's time we were togetherFor I smell by the EarthAnd I'm worn by the weather.When my family thinkThat I'm safely in my bedOh, from morn until nightI am stretched out at your headCalling out unto the earthWith tears hot and wildFor the loss of a girlThat I loved as a child.Do you remember the nightOh, the night when we were lostIn the shade of the blackthornAnd the touch of the frost?Oh, and thanks be to JesusWe did all that was rightAnd your maidenhead stillIs your pillar of light.Oh, the priests and the friarsThey approach me in dreadOh, for I love you stillOh, my life, and you're deadI still will be your shelterThrough rain and through stormAnd with you in your cold graveI cannot sleep warmI am stretched on your graveAnd I'll lie here foreverIf you hands were in mineI'd be sure they would not severMy apple tree, my brightness,It
's time we were togetherFor I smell by the EarthAnd I'm worn by the weather.(Thanks to Lyn for these lyrics)
