Sweep me away from my deep ache Your love will set me free He makes the flowers bow and bend And the sparrows sing Keep me in exile here on earth Make me wonder why? I will live in sorrow 'til the day I die I had no song to sing at all 'Til he left this world Though I am showered in despair I am filled with hope Death has touched me once again Buried in the ground Is the man I love the most I'll see him when I get home I'll sing a ballad for the gloom Of this wretched life I claim no glory in my tune We're all going to die Take the honey from my cup Let thy will be done Hang me from the gallows 'Til thy kingdom come Hang me from the gallows 'Til thy kingdom come
