I Am Stretched On Your Grave - Apple Brightness Mix;2009 Remastered Version
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 earth
With tears hot and wild
My grief for the girl
That I loved as a child
Do you remember
The night we were lost?
In the shade of the blackthorn
And the chill of cold frost
Thanks be to Jesus
We did what was right
And your maiden head still
Is your pillar of light
The priests and the friars
Approach me in dread
Because I still love you
My love, and you're dead
I still will be your shelter
Through rain and through storm
And with you in a cold grave
I cannot sleep warm
So I'm 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
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 earth
With tears hot and wild
My grief for the girl
That I loved as a child
Do you remember
The night we were lost?
In the shade of the blackthorn
And the chill of cold frost
Thanks be to Jesus
We did what was right
And your maiden head still
Is your pillar of light
The priests and the friars
Approach me in dread
Because I still love you
My love, and you're dead
I still will be your shelter
Through rain and through storm
And with you in a cold grave
I cannot sleep warm
So I'm 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
