I am stretched on your grave
And I'll 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 I'm worn by the weather
Do you remember
The night we were lost
In the shade of the blackthorn
With the chill of the frost?
I still would be your shelter
Through rain and through storm
And with you in your cold grave
I no longer 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 I'm worn by the weather
