The lambs on the mound are frolicking in the heather
Where rowan grows and every flower is warm
Where rowan is growing and every flower is warm
And the ships are sailing the oceans.

The bride and her companions go to church
She rides ahead in the form she's pictured
And I follow her with a dumb art
And my love is going to marry someone else.

At the altar standing with her husband beside
The ringing the ring and taking the oaths of love
The lad said calmly, "My love for you will not fade
Though you are now married to another man" .

At the church door watching the journey
It was my prayer and supplication that I would keep my senses
My love for you will never deny the love that was ever
Even though you are now married to another man.

O dig the grave where I can rest
And put the flowers over it and Spring will make it grow
And I will lie under the grass where I lie forever
Nothing but death will forget me.
