Intro

word by word

 she spoke to me

hidden neath a mess of bygone linnen

 she listens as to dry a thousand tongues

 my love is thin and thinning

some cherised flower

flutters through

gentleborn beloved you

kindness always

kindness always

i hear the sound

the sound she's left me

i stood her ground

no they've swayed me

i hear the sound

the sound she's left me

i stood her ground

i hear the sound

the sound she's left me

 wrapped tight

inside your shawl

 we wander round this dingy hall

softly spoken

shaken tree

 the ash grove we come to be

the blood run

 the blood run away

 from arm and leg to a warm heart

all our colors agree

 in the dark

but no man lives upon that land

far enough for us to see

i hear your voice yeah

in the hum of this machine

i hear the sound

the sound you've left me

i stood her ground

i hear the sound

the sound she's left me
