I Am Stretched On Your Grave Lyrics by Dead Can Dance

I Am Stretched On Your Grave Lyrics

    I am stretched on your grave
    And will lie there forever
    With your hands held in mine
    I'd be sure we'd not sever
    My apple tree my brightness
    'tis time we were together
    For i smell of the earth
    And am stained by the weather

    When my family thinks
    That i'm safe in my bed
    From night until morning
    I am stretched at your head
    Calling out to the air
    With tears both hot and wild
    Oh i grieve for the girl
    That i loved as a child

    The priests and the friars
    Behold me in dread
    Because i still love you
    My love and you're dead
    I would still be your shelter
    From rain and from storm
    And with you in your cold grave
    I cannot sleep warm
