[00:10.99]I am stretched on your grave
[00:16.28]And will lie there forever
[00:21.40]If your hands were in mine
[00:26.59]I'd be sure we'd not sever
[00:33.96]My apple tree, my brightness
[00:40.14]It's time we were together
[00:49.39]For I smell of the earth
[00:54.49]And am worn by the weather
[01:04.83]When my family thinks
[01:09.80]That I'm safe in my bed
[01:15.76]From night until morning
[01:20.09]I am stretched at your head
[01:27.87]Calling out to the air
[01:34.20]With tears hot and wild
[01:37.94]My grief for the girl
[01:43.10]That I loved as a child
[01:54.51]Do you remember
[01:58.79]The night we were lost
[02:03.41]In the shade of the blackthorn
[02:08.62]And the chill of the frost?
[02:16.01]Thanks be to Jesus
[02:22.53]We did what was right
[02:26.46]And your maiden head still
[02:31.30]Is your pillar of light
[02:42.52]The priests and the friars
[02:47.42]Approach me in dread
[02:52.35]Because I still love you
[02:57.53]My love, and you're dead
[03:04.97]I still would be your shelter
[03:10.81]Through rain and through storm
[03:14.89]And with you in your cold grave
[03:20.55]I cannot sleep warm
[03:30.28]So I'm stretched on your grave
[03:35.40]And will lie there forever
[03:40.76]If you hands were in mine
[03:45.74]I'd be sure we'd not sever
[03:53.35]My apple tree, my brightness
[03:59.85]It's time we were together
[04:08.84]For I smell of the earth
[04:13.89]And am worn by the weather
