Arid Elegy Lyrics

Elegy Lyrics

Hold still, don't move I say
wilt thou hear my elegy
Head high,
preserve my pride
I shall defy the gallows


I and you and me well
We just don't know
What love can do
I,I pledge to you that
I won't deceive
the heart that's mine.


As here I sit
I vow
your history
does not
perish my love
 
The shame
will be mine, for a
scarlet woman thou art


I and you and me well
We just don't know
What love can do
I,I pledge to you that
I won't deceive
the heart that's mine.


Dead from the grave
we're all slaves
to what we've got
Love's been through the door
for days.
