unquiet grave - lau lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
wind doth blow today my love
a few small drops of rain
i never had but one true love
in a cold grave she lies slain

[verse 2]
i’ll do as much for my true love
as any young man may
i’ll sit and mourn all at her grave
for twelve months and a day

[chorus 1]
the twelve months and the day being up
the dead began to speak
“oh who sits weeping on my grave
and will not let me sleep?”

[verse 3]
“it’s me my love, sits on your grave
and will not let you sleep
i crave one kiss of your cold clay lips
and that is all i seek”

[chorus 2]
“you crave one kiss if my cold clay lips?
my breath smells earthly strong
if you’ve one kiss of my cold clay lips
your time will not be long”

[instrumental]

[verse 4]
“see down in yonder garden green
love, where we used to walk?
the finest flower that e’er was seen
is withered to a stalk”

[chorus 3]
“the stalk is withered dry my love
so will our hearts decay
so make yourself content my love
’till god calls you away”
