Sweep me away from my deep ache
Your love will set me free
He makes the flowers bow and bend
And the sparrows sing
Keep me in exile here on earth
Make me wonder why?
I will live in sorrow 'til the day I die
I had no song to sing at all
'Til he left this world
Though I am showered in despair
I am filled with hope
Death has touched me once again
Buried in the ground
Is the man I love the most
I'll see him when I get home
I'll sing a ballad for the gloom
Of this wretched life
I claim no glory in my tune
We're all going to die
Take the honey from my cup
Let thy will be done
Hang me from the gallows
'Til thy kingdom come
Hang me from the gallows
'Til thy kingdom come
