Lyric I Am Stretched On Your Grave
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 childThe 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
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 childThe 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
