I am stretched on your grave And will lie here forever With your hand 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 I am 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 lost 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 will be your shelter Through rain and through storm And with you in your cold grave I cannot keep warm I am stretched at your grave And will lie there forever With your hand 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
