David Thomas Broughton - Unmarked Grave lyrics

I was a soldier in a far off land, the arrow deep in my side, I would return one day my love, to the heavens we would ride. My body rots while she is weeping, I remain forever sleeping, Resting my bones from the daily chores, rest my bones forever more. My body lies in an unmarked grave, my heart remains with the one I love, She's awaiting my return, although I know that will never come. My body rots while she is weeping, I remain forever sleeping, Resting my bones on a far off shore, rest my bones forever more. As I decay neath my blanket of earth my heart is yet to be satisfied, A seedling grows on my burial ground, just to wither and die. My body rots while she is weeping, I remain forever sleeping, Resting my bones from the daily chores, rest my bones forever more.
