I Am Stretched On Your Grave Lyrics - I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got - Sinead Oconnor

I am stretched on your grave 

And will lie there forever 

If your hands were in mine 

I'd be sure we'd not sever 

My apple tree my brightness 

It's time we were together 

For I smell of the earth 

And am worn by the weather 

When my family thinks 

That I'm safe in my bed 

From night until morning 

I am stretched at your head 

Calling out to the air 

With tears hot and wild 

My grief for the girl 

That I loved as a child 

Do you remember 

The night we were lost 

In the shade of the blackthorn 

And the chill of the frost 

Thanks be to Jesus 

We did what was right 

And your maiden head still 

Is your pillar of light 

The priests and the friars 

Approach me in dread 

Because I still love you 

My love and you're dead 

I still would be your shelter 

Through rain and through storm 

And with you in your cold grave 

I cannot sleep warm 

So I'm stretched on your grave 

And will lie there forever 

If your hands were in mine 

I'd be sure we'd not sever 

My apple tree my brightness 

It's time we were together 

For I smell of the earth 

And am worn by the weather
