[Verse 1]
Can you see the early morning chill
On the frost that covers this cold hill?
Can you hear the high and lonesome sound
Of shovels striking ground?
[Verse 2]
Can you feel the earth begin to move
As though judgment day had come too soon?
Can you taste the earth upon her lips
Like one last lover's kiss?
[Verse 3]
Her memory haunts his heart
Her body burned its mark
Her soul has flown from his embrace
No more to fear the dark
[Verse 4]
Oh jealousy, where is your sting?
Who knows the poison fruit you bring?
But fools rush in where angels fear
And lose thе love they hold most dear
[Verse 5]
Wе will watch him riding through the gates
To the prison cell that now awaits
He will never no more see the sun
And she will be forever young
[Outro]
He will never no more see the sun
And she will be forever young
Can you see the early morning chill
On the frost that covers this cold hill?
Can you hear the high and lonesome sound
Of shovels striking ground?
[Verse 2]
Can you feel the earth begin to move
As though judgment day had come too soon?
Can you taste the earth upon her lips
Like one last lover's kiss?
[Verse 3]
Her memory haunts his heart
Her body burned its mark
Her soul has flown from his embrace
No more to fear the dark
[Verse 4]
Oh jealousy, where is your sting?
Who knows the poison fruit you bring?
But fools rush in where angels fear
And lose thе love they hold most dear
[Verse 5]
Wе will watch him riding through the gates
To the prison cell that now awaits
He will never no more see the sun
And she will be forever young
[Outro]
He will never no more see the sun
And she will be forever young
