Cold Blows Wind

[Katharine Blake]
"Cold blows the wind tonight, sweetheart, cold are the drops of rain
The one first love that ever I had in greenwood he was slain
Now I have mourned upon his grave a twelve month and a day
I'll set my sail before the wind to waft me far away"

[Nick Marsh]
"What is it that you want from me and will not let me sleep?
Your salten tears they trickle down my winding sheet to steep"

[Katharine Blake]
"Oh I will now redeem the pledge, the pledge that once I gave
A kiss from off your lily white lips is all of you I crave"

[Nick Marsh]
"Cold are my lips in death, sweetheart, my breath is earthy strong
If you must touch my clay cold lips your time will not be long"

[Katharine Blake]
Then through the mould he heaved his head and through the herbage green
There fell a frosted bramble leaf it came their lips between

[Katharine Blake & Nick Marsh]
"Now if you were not true in word as now i knew you be
I'd tear you as the withered leaves are torn from off the tree

[Nick Marsh]
And well for you that bramble leaf betwixt our lips were flung

[Katharine Blake & Nick Marsh]
The living to the living hold dead to the dead belong
The living to the living hold dead to the dead belong"
