Lyrics for Song: Come Awaydeath
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Elvis Costello
(harle/shakespeare)
Come awaycome awaydeath
And in sad cyprus let me be laid
Fie awayfie awaybreath
I am slain by a fair cruel maid
My shroud of white stuck all with you
O prepare it
My part of death no one so true
Did share it
Come awaycome awaydeath
Not a flowernot a flowersweet
On my black coffin let there be strewn
Not a friendnot a friendgreet
My poor corpse where my bones shall be thrown
A thousand thousand sighs to say
Lay me over
Sad true lover never find my grave
To weep there
Come awaycome awaydeath
