Lyrics: Kate Campbell. Blues And Lamentations. Shallow Grave.


You killed my love
you were the one
bit by bit
the deed was done
by your calloused
heartless ways
and buried it in
a shallow grave

with each faithless
lie you told
i felt the knife
still deeper go
til my spirit
could not be saved
you left it in
a shallow grave

but one night
the hounds will find
the trail of clues
you left behind
and you will answer
for your sin
but i promise
until then

i will not rest
i won't forget
i'll haunt you
every chance i get
for the way
my heart was laid
so careless in
a shallow grave

from this cold
hard bed i pray
somehow you'll meet
the same dark fate
someone will take
the love you gave
and put it in
a shallow grave

no stone to mark
a shallow grave
