I will write you letters that
Explain the way I'm thinking now
I will return to you

What I have taken long before
I will return again
When it gets dark and day is done


And lay me down
In the hallowed ground

Down by your side I will stay
So lay me down


And if you wanna stay with me
Then let me know before it's light
I will recoil myself

Into the black and darkest night

And lay me down

In the hallowed ground
Where my (fore)father waits I will stay
So lay me down


And lay me down
In the hallowed ground

Down by your side I will stay
So lay me down
