Come Away, Death

Lyrics - Credits - Discography - Covers - Bootlegs - Chords

Lyrics Come away, come away, death And in sad cypress let me be laid Fie away, fie away, breath! I am slain by a fair cruel maid My shroud of white, stuck all with yew Oh, prepare it! My part of death, no one so true did share it Come away, come away, death Not a flower, not a flower sweet On my black coffin let there be strewn Not a friend, not a friend greet My poor corpse, where my bones shall be thrown A thousand thousand sighs to save, lay me, oh, where Sad true lover never find my grave to weep there Come away, come away, death
