David Thomas Broughton Unmarked Grave Lyrics

i was a soldier in a far off land,
the arrow deep in my side,
i'd return one day my love,
to the heaven's we would ride.
my body rots while she is weeping,
i remain forever sleeping,
resting my bones from the daily chores,
rest my bones forever more.
my body lies in an unmarked grave,
my heart remains with the one i love,
she's awaiting my return,
although i know that will never come.
as i decay neath my blanket of earth my heart is yet to be satisfied,
a seedling grows on my burial ground, just to wither and die.
