Sweet William
Tunng

I saw you kiss sweet Williamnn In a forest of red leavesnn The rain ran cold against my necknn The wind lay down to sleepnnnn I walked all night in stillnessnn And I walked all day as wellnn I walked across the desert plainsnn And through the jagged hillsnnnn I slept inside the north windnn In a coracle at seann And in the deepest darkest woodsnn My dreams sang songs to mennnn I dreamed I killed sweet Williamnn And I kissed his cold white brownn I washed his body in the lakenn And I sewed his eyelids downnnnn Sing a song of sixpencenn Battles in the past tensenn Picked out by the snownnnn If I should find sweet Williamnn Lying pale beneath the snownn I'll row out to the deepest depthsnn And let sweet William gonnnn I'll watch him sink beneath the floodnn And back to where he camenn And pray to God and death and bloodnn I might forget his namen
