cold blows the wind - katharine blake lyrics

Loading...

[katharine blake]
“cold blows the wind tonight, sweetheart, cold are the drops of rain
the one first love that ever i had in greenwood he was slain
now i have mourned upon his grave a twelve month and a day
i’ll set my sail before the wind to waft me far away”

[nick marsh]
“what is it that you want from me and will not let me sleep?
your salten tears they trickle down my winding sheet to steep”

[katharine blake]
“oh i will now redeem the pledge, the pledge that once i gave
a kiss from off your lily white lips is all of you i crave”

[nick marsh]
“cold are my lips in death, sweetheart, my breath is earthy strong
if you must touch my clay cold lips your time will not be long”

[katharine blake]
then through the mould he heaved his head and through the herbage green
there fell a frosted bramble leaf it came their lips between

[katharine blake & nick marsh]
“now if you were not true in word as now i knew you be
i’d tear you as the withered leaves are torn from off the tree
[nick marsh]
and well for you that bramble leaf betwixt our lips were flung

[katharine blake & nick marsh]
the living to the living hold dead to the dead belong
the living to the living hold dead to the dead belong”
