Key: Dm
Introduction: Dm C Am C G F C Dm
Dm
Hear me when I cry,
C Am
Listen to my song
Dm
The jay, my lovely lady,
C Am
To the earth she did belong.
Dm
I can't trace her,
F G
Lost her from my life,
F C
But the manor lady's bright young son
G Dm
Can take her for his wife.
Dm
Under the forest branches
C Am
She came to me,
Dm
Until the day she cried aloud
C Am
A father I should be.
Dm
That was the last time that we met,
F G
I never saw her again,
F C
For she took her life on princeton wharf
G Dm
To save my worthy name.
Dm
She found death's open arms
C Am
And lay in them in grace
Dm
I watched as icy fingers
C Am
Clawed her lovely face.
Dm
Now I stumble through the mist
F G
To where they laid her in the grave,
F C
And maybe I'll remember
G Dm
The flowers for my days.
Em
Far beyond the sand
F
I will take your hand,
C G Dm
The spirit of our love will live forever.
Em
Far beyond the clouds
F
We will laugh aloud,
C G
The spirit of our love will live again.
