Hear me when I cry,
Listen to my song
The Jay, my lovely lady,
To the earth she did belong.
I can`t trace her,
Lost her from my life,
But the manor lady`s bright young son
Can take her for his wife.
Under the forest branches
She came to me,
Until the day she cried aloud
A father I should be.
That was the last time that we met,
I never saw her again,
For she took her life on Princeton Wharf
To save my worthy name.
She found Death`s open arms
And lay in them in grace
I watched as icy fingers
Clawed her lovely face.
Now I stumble through the mist
To where they laid her in the grave,
And maybe I`ll remember
The flowers for my days.
Far beyond the sand
I will take your hand,
The spirit of our love will live forever.
Far beyond the clouds
We will laugh aloud,
The spirit of our love will live again.
