I Am Stretched On Your Grave



Kate Rusby - I Am Stretched On Your Grave - Текст песни

I am stretched on your grave

And I'll lie here forever

If you 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 by the Earth

And I'm worn by the weather.


When my family think

That I'm safely in my bed

Oh, from morn until night

I am stretched out at your head

Calling out unto the earth

With tears hot and wild

For the loss of a girl

That I loved as a child.


Do you remember the night

Oh, the night when we were lost

In the shade of the blackthorn

And the touch of the frost?

Oh, and thanks be to Jesus

We did all that was right

And your maidenhead still

Is your pillar of light.


Oh, the priests and the friars

They approach me in dread

Oh, for I love you still

Oh, my life, 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


I am stretched on your grave

And I'll lie here forever

If you 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 by the Earth

And I'm worn by the weather.
