Lyrics, guitars, bass, vocals, shaker, drums: Straysinger Additional voices: Nox Nummer Lyrics: My lover lies under the ground I saw them lay her down but as I stand above her grave I hear her voice whisper come away come away, come away, come away I ran down to the ocean's edge I hoped the salt would clear my head but it tastes like blood upon the wind and I recall she'll never breathe again I plunged my hands into the waves I thought to wash my sins away but they wrap around me like the strangling cord and there they stay 'til I meet the Lord My lover lies under the ground she's far too deep to make a sound but as I stand above her grave I hear her voice whisper come away come away, come away, come away I saw a lighthouse down on the strand I made my way there across the sand to live alone and my secrets ever keep but I see her face when I try to sleep Yes, she comes to me in my every dream and when I wake I still hear a scream If it's hers or mine I can never tell but only one of us will be heard in hell My lover lies under the ground I was the one who cut her down and as I stand above her grave I hear her voice whisper come away come away, come away, come away So I'll sit down by her headstone and with my death hope to atone for I took the life out from her eyes it's only right I should pay with mine Now I lie under the ground Nobody cried when they lay me down and as you stand above her grave I pray you never hear come away come away, come away, come away
