 Under my love
 Wake up to your window
 The day calls in billows
 It's echoing moonlight on to the blue nightmare of your heart
 In cosy red rainbow
 It's shaking off halos
 And the memory of our sacred so and so's
 Oh take my hand sweet
 Complete your release and bury your feet
 And married we'll be
 Alone in receiving ours is a feeling not that they would see
 They don't know that we could be
 That way your cradle escaped the sea
 And your raven haired Mama cought told you so's
 Were laying in the shadow of your family tree
 Your haunted heart and me
 Brought down by an old idea whose time has come
 And in the shadow of the gallows of your family tree
 There's a hundred hearts soar free
 Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep it young
 Ah me all mine
 Is it safe to say that we've waited patiently
 Call me on time
 And recall the tune that has place us gracefully
 All into line
 There's the garden grave and a place they've saved for you
 I'll fall by your side
 Though your silver haired Mama throws told you so's
 Were laying in the shadow of your family tree
 Your haunted heart and me
 Brought down by an old idea whose time has come
 And in the shadow of the gallows of your family tree
 There's a hundred hearts soar free
 Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep it young
 And now we'll gather in the shadow of your family tree
 In haunted harmony
 Brought down by an old idea whose time has come
 And in the shadow of the valley of your family tree
 There's a hundred hearts soar free
 Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep us young

And the memory of our sacred so and so's

Oh take my hand sweet

Alone in receiving ours is a feeling not that they would see
They don't know that we could be
That way your cradle escaped the sea
And your raven haired Mama cought told you so's

Were laying in the shadow of your family tree
Your haunted heart and me
Brought down by an old idea whose time has come
And in the shadow of the gallows of your family tree
There's a hundred hearts soar free
Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep it young

Ah me all mine

Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep it young

And now we'll gather in the shadow of your family tree
In haunted harmony
Brought down by an old idea whose time has come
And in the shadow of the valley of your family tree
There's a hundred hearts soar free
Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep us young
