1.	Stretched on Your Grave 06:59 video	lyrics	buy track
I am stretched on your grave And will lie there forever If your hands were in mine I'd be sure we'd 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 safe in my bed From night until morning I am stretched at your head Calling out to the air With tears hot and wild My grief for the girl That I loved as a child The priests and the friars Approach me in dread Because I still love you My love, and you're dead I still would be your shelter Through rain and through storm And with you in your cold grave I cannot sleep warm So I'm stretched on your grave And will lie there forever If you hands were in mine I'd be sure we'd 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

Long afloat on shipless oceans I did all my best to smile 'til your singing eyes and fingers Drew me loving to your isle And you sang: "Sail to me Sail to me Let me enfold you Here I am Here I am Waiting to hold you" Did I dream you dreamed about me? Were you hare when I was fox? Now my foolish boat is leaning Broken lovelorn on your rocks For you sing: "Touch me not Touch me not Come back tomorrow O my heart O my heart Shies from the sorrow"
