kate rusby - unquiet grave @20 lyrics

[verse 1: kate rusby]
how pleasant is the wind tonight
i feel some drops of rain
i never had but one true love
in greenwood he lies slain
i’ll do so much for my true love
as any young girl may
i’ll sit and mourn all on your grave
for twelve months and a day

[verse 2: kate rusby & aoife o’donovan]
the twelve months and a day being up
the ghost began to speak
why sit you here and mourn for me?
and you will not let me sleep
what do you want of me, sweetheart?
oh, what is it you crave?
just one kiss of your lily white lips
and that is all i crave

[whistle solo]

[verse 3: kate rusby & aoife o’donovan, kate rusby]
oh, don’t you see the fire, sweetheart?
the fire that burns so blue
where my poor soul tormented is
all for the love of you
and if you weren’t my own sweetheart
as i know you well to be
i’ll rend you up in pieces small
as leaves upon the tree
mourn not for me, my own true love
mourn not for me i crave
i must leave you and all the world
and turn into my grave
and turn into my grave
