Lyrics

can you see the early morning chill, in the frost that covers this cold hill, can you hear the high and lonesome sound, of shovels striking ground, can you feel the earth begin to move, as though judgment day had come too soon, can you taste the earth upon her lips, like one last lover's kiss, can you hear the wind begin to howl, too late, too late to turn back now, and the fiddle plays until it aches, and fills her resting place, her memory haunts his heart, her body burned its mark, her soul has flown from his embrace, no more to fear the dark, oh jealousy, where is your sting, who knows the poison fruit you bring, but fools rush in where angels fear, and lose the love they hold most dear, we will watch him riding through the gates, to the prison cell that now awaits, he will never no more see the sun, and she will be forever young, he will never no more see the sun, and she will be forever young
