STUART SMITH lyrics : "Shadow of the Tyburn Tree"

My love's been taken away from me
Bound in chains by the king's decree
A child of God accused of witchery

Imprisoned by their lies

The winds of fear

are blowing strong
They'll take her life
even though they're wrong

As the sun will rise
at the break of dawn
On the gallows she will die


Oh how cruel the hands of fate


Oh heaven stop this grave mistake
And grant this wish that I shall make
Instead of her, my life they take

Salvation lies too far

So beyond this world our hearts will twine

Even stronger still, yours and mine
Love immortal for all time
Written in the stars


Oh how cruel the hands of fate


Chorus
By the moonlight I wait for eternity
And pray that my love is returned to me

There's no man with a heavier heart than me
In the shadow of the Tyburn tree


Oh magic moon
won't you stay and hold back the sun
For my love and I, on a moonbeam will fly

And the morning never comes
And the morning never comes


Chorus
By the moonlight I wait for eternity
And pray that my love is returned to me

There's no man with a heavier heart than me
In the shadow of the Tyburn tree


By the moonlight I wait for eternity
With a hpoeful heart and a desparate plea
And a prayer that my love will be set free

From the shadow of the Tyburn tree
