You are standing at my window and I call to you Remember what you said to me, you promised you were mine You are standing in the doorway and I call to you You said that you would follow me, wherever I desire
Father can't you hear him, he's come to take me home Down into the depths of hell, where surely he belongs Father won't you help me, be my saving grace He has ridden half the night to take me to my grave
If I said that I'd go with you, it was but in jest You were just to pass the time, I never loved you best I have never laid a flower on your granite stone You are damned forevermore to wander on your own
You are standing here in my room and I reach for you I will brave the pale moonlight to take you to my home You are standing at my bedside and I reach for you Very soon the sun will rise, and with me you must come
Father can't you hear him, he's come to take me home Down into the depths of hell, where surely he belongs Father won't you help me, be my saving grace He has ridden half the night to take me to my grave
I am lying here beside you, can you feel my bones? You will feel the chill my girl, before the morning comes I am holding you tightly, you cannot get free You must ride upon my horse and spend eternity with me
Father can't you hear him, he's come to take me home Down into the depths of hell, where surely he belongs Father won't you help me, be my saving grace He has ridden half the night to take me to my grave
Father can't you hear him, he's come to take me home Down into the depths of hell, where surely he belongs Father won't you help me, be my saving grace He has ridden half the night to take me to my grave.
