Lyrics:
This is to mother you
To comfort you and get you through'
Through when your nights are lonely
Through when your dreams are only blue
This is to mother you
This is to be with you
To hold you and to kiss you, too
For when you need me I will do
What your own mother didn't do
Which is to mother you
All the pain that you have known
All the violence in your soul
All the wrong things you have done
I will take from you when I come
All mistakes made in distress
All your unhappiness
I will take away with my kiss, yes
I will give you tenderness
For child I am so glad I found you
Although my arms have always been around you
Sweet bird although you did not see me
I saw you
And
I'm here to mother you
To comfort you and get you through
Through when your nights are lonely
Through when your dreams are only blue
This is to mother you

Lyrics:
I am stretched on your grave
And will lie there forever
If your hands were in mine
Id be sure wed not sever
My apple tree, my brightness
Its time we were together
For I smell of the earth
And am worn by the weather
When my family thinks
That Im safe in my bed
From night until morning
I am stretched at your head
Calling out to the earth
With tears hot and wild
My grief for the girl
That I loved as a child
Do you remember
The night we were lost?
In the shade of the blackthorn
And the chill of cold frost
Thanks be to Jesus
We did what was right
And your maiden head still
Is your pillar of light
The priests and the friars
Approach me in dread
Because I still love you
My love, and youre dead
I still will be your shelter
Through rain and through storm
And with you in a cold grave
I cannot sleep warm
So Im stretched on your grave
And will lie there forever
If your hands were in mine
Id be sure wed not sever
My apple tree, my brightness
Its time we were together
For I smell of the earth
And am worn by the weather")
