I Am Stretched On Your Grave

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
