Lyrics
I might forget his name, in a coracle at sea
my dreams sang songs to me
And i sewed his eyelids down, i slept inside the north wind
In a coracle at sea, i dreamed i killed sweet william Tunng, sing a song of sixpence
Lying pale beneath the snow, lying pale beneath the snow, sing a song of sixpence
Battles in the past tense, and let sweet william go, battles in the past tense
I saw you kiss sweet william, i walked across the desert plains Sweet, and in the deepest darkest woods
picked out by the snow
the wind lay down to sleep
picked out by the snow
And pray to god and death and blood, and pray to god and death and blood, lying pale beneath the snow
I dreamed i killed sweet william, my dreams sang songs to me, i washed his body in the lake
If i should find sweet william, and i walked all day as well, i walked all night in stillness
and through the jagged hills
If i should find sweet william, i walked all night in stillness, i washed his body in the lake
And pray to god and death and blood, and back to where he came Tunng, and through the jagged hills
in a forest of red leaves
I walked all night in stillness, i might forget his name
and i walked all day as well
I saw you kiss sweet william, i washed his body in the lake
My dreams sang songs to me, and through the jagged hills
the rain ran cold against my neck
Lying pale beneath the snow, i ll watch him sink beneath the flood
And i kissed his cold white brow, battles in the past tense
i might forget his name
I walked across the desert plains, and back to where he came
lying pale beneath the snow
I walked across the desert plains, and pray to god and death and blood
i walked all night in stillness
And pray to god and death and blood, i washed his body in the lake
