The Unquiet Grave

The Unquiet Grave - Sarah Calderwood/Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra (塔斯馬尼亞交響樂團)/Andrew Greene/Jessica Wells

Cold blows the wind

Upon my true love

Soft falls the gentle rain

I never had but one true love

And in greenwood he lies slain

I'll lose much for my true love

As any young girl may

I'll sit and I'll mourn all on your grave

For twelve months and a day

When the twelve month and a day had passed

The ghost began to speak

Who is it that sits all on my grave

And will not let me sleep

'Tis I 'tis I

Thine own true love

That sits all on your grave

I ask of one kiss from your sweet lips

And that is all I crave

My lips

They are

As clay my love

My breath is earthly strong

And if you should kiss my clay cold lips

Your time to not be long

Look down

In the yonder garden fell

My love where we used to walk

The fairest flower that ever bloomed

Has withered unto the stalk

The stalk it has withered and dried my love

So will our hearts decay

So make yourself content my love

'Til death calls you away
