The Unquiet Grave

Lyrics

Cold blows the wind o'er my true love And cold blow the drops of rain I never had... but one true love In the Greenwood he lies slain I'll do as much for my true love As any lover may I'll sit and weep all on his grave A twelve-month and a day... When twelve months and a day were done A voice began to speak "Who is it sits and weeps on my grave And will not let me sleep?" One kiss, one kiss of your sweet lips One kiss is all I crave Unless I have one kiss from your lips No comfort shall I have... "My lips are cold as clay, sweetheart My breath is earthy strong And had you one kiss from my cold lips Your time would not be long" Go home, go home to your father's house Sit with your friends at ease For fierce is love that longs for And leave my soul in peace
