She Walks That Hill lyrics

She walks that hill

In a long black dress

And a long black veil

Her skin is white

Her eyes sullen black

Red running wrists

There are no tears to cry

Nor weeping to be heard

Fragile feelings fleshly

No sound in her footsteps

No voice to be heard

No breath to feel

Her love stolen away

Denied an infant one

Alone and forgotten

No light of hope to shine

The days they are all grey

The nights cold and endless

She wept upon his grave

She slept in his company

On the freshly sodden grass

But today, as everyday

She walks still, upon that hill

Still stirring wakeful

Watchful, uneasy, vexed
