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

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


She said, "I would die for you
"I would die for you"

"I would die for you"
"I would die for you"


And it all came true
It all came true
