He buried her heart still He buried her on her own By the cool ferns In the rained on river bed
He took her in his arms He carried her ghost Through grey stone fields He could feel her float
She said, “I would die for you “I would die for you” And it all came true It all came true
A love so dark Against that moon With a silken cord She spoke too soon She said, “I would die for you I would die for you” When he first laid eyes on her It was like a curse He felt his heart rise And gravity in reverse
Her eyes full of hope Her voice full of mourning And her lips as red As a shepherds warning
She said, “I would die for you “I would die for you” And it all came true It all came true
He lay her down In the gentle earth And kissed her eyes closed Like it didn’t hurt
He whispered, “I would die for you “I would die for you” “I would die for you” “I would die for you”
