I’d bring you roses, but they’ve turned to dust,\u2028

I'm still waiting for your touch

I’d lay down forever in this haunted ground

Hoping one day you’ll turn around

You’d lay the flowers on my tombstone

Knowing love is more than flesh and bone

Someday you’ll know me by the dead of night,\u2028

Your shadowed lover hidden from sight.\u2028

My empty heart never breaks or dies\u2028

For the gravedigger’s daughter, under starlit skies.

You’re like a flower on this dusty ground

And when you pass by my lost heart is found

Still you don’t see me, you just pass by

But for one chance I’d live to die

So I’ll keep watching with lifeless desire

You are my light, my funeral pyre

My body is cold, but you’ll be the flame

And for this chance with you I’ll rise again

I’ll lay forever in this haunted ground

Please, my love, won’t you turn around

And lay the flowers on my tombstone

I know love is more than flesh and bone
