"Come Away Death" 是由 Kate Rusby 演唱的一首歌曲,歌詞全文如下:
Come away death, you are no foe,
Your cold black heart I'll ne'er agree,
Take me not hence, I'm here to stay,
In the green grass by the weeping willow tree.
Chorus:
Come away death, I'll ne'er be gone,
Though my weary flesh may fail,
My spirit's winged and upward borne,
In the green grass by the weeping willow tree.
My father's aye my hope and stay,
And my mother's tender care is mine;
Though they may see me laid away,
They'll still be watching by my side,
Chorus as before.
My brother and sisters my dear ones be,
With their flowers they'll weave a chaplet mine;
My soul may quit my weary frame,
Yet in green grass by the willow tree,
Will it ever be.
Chorus as before.
My man and I were merry friends,
And yet I'll ne'er be sorry for his fate;
He's gone to join the other ends,
But he'll be waiting for me on the green grass bed.
Chorus as before.
Come away death, you are no friend,
To the heart that beats within my breast;
Though my days here are numbered now,
Yet my spirit shall live for evermore,
On the green grass by the weeping willow tree.
