Lyrics Charlotte Martin

Charlotte Martin

I Am Stretched Out On Your Grave

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

I am stretched on your grave

And I lie here forever

If your hand's 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

She's alive, I see her coming

She's alive, I see her running

She's alive, I see her coming

She's alive

She's alive, I see her coming

She's alive, I see her running

She's alive, I see her coming

She's alive

She's alive, I see her coming

She's alive, I see her running

She's alive, I see her coming

She's alive

She's alive, I see her coming

She's alive, I see her running

She's alive, I see her coming

She's alive

Don't you forget to look up

Don't you forget to look up

Don't you forget to look up

Don't you forget to look up
