[Verse 1]
Can you see the early morning chill
On the frost that covers this cold hill?
Can you hear the high and lonesome sound
Of shovels striking ground?
[Verse 2]
Can you feel the earth begin to move
As though judgment day had come too soon?
Can you taste the earth upon her lips
Like one last lover's kiss?
[Verse 3]
Can you hear the wind begin to howl?
Too late, too late to turn back now
And the fiddle plays until it aches
And fills her resting place
[Verse 4]
Her memory haunts his heart
Her body burned its mark
Her soul has flown from his embrace
No more to fеar the dark
[Verse 5]
Oh jealousy, wherе is thy sting?
Who knows the poison fruit you bring?
But fools rush in where angels fear
And lose the love they hold most dear
[Verse 6]
We will watch him riding through the gates
To the prison cell that now awaits
He will never no more see the sun
And she will be forever young
[Outro]
He will never no more see the sun
And she will be forever young
