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.
