I am stretched on your grave
And I'll lie here forever
With your hands 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 safely in bed
From night until morning
I am stretched at your head
Calling out to the earth
With tears hot and wild
For the loss of the girl
That I loved as a child
The priests and the friars
Approach me in dread
Because I still love you
My love, and you're dead
I'll still be your shelter
Through rain and through storm
And with you in your cold grave
I cannot sleep warm
And I'll lie here forever
With your hands 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 safely in bed
From night until morning
I am stretched at your head
Calling out to the earth
With tears hot and wild
For the loss of the girl
That I loved as a child
The priests and the friars
Approach me in dread
Because I still love you
My love, and you're dead
I'll still be your shelter
Through rain and through storm
And with you in your cold grave
I cannot sleep warm
