lyrics

Cold blows the wind tonight, my love,
Cold are the drops of rain.
I never had but one true love,
In green wood she lies slain.

I'll do as much for my true love
As any young man may.
I'll sit and mourn all at her grave
For twelve months and a day.

The twelve months and a day being up,
The ghost began to grieve -
Your salten tears they trickle down
And wet my winding sheet.

It's I my love, sits on your grave
And will not let you sleep,
For I crave one kiss from your clay cold lips
And that is all I seek.

O lily, lily, are my lips.
My breath is earthy strong.
If you have one kiss from my clay cold lips
Your time will not be long.

'Twas down in yonder garden, love,
Where we used to walk,
The fairest flower that ever was seen
Is withered to a stalk.

The stalk is withered dry my love,
So must our hearts decay.
So rest yourself content my love
'Til Death calls you away.

Stone Breath is not new. It is cracked. Broken. Imperfect. Hidden. Weathered by the seasons.

We sing of ghosts and of forgotten paths through forest and fallow field.
