Lady Jay

Lady Jay :: Wishbone Ash



Hear me when I cry,

Listen to my song

Jay, my lovely lady,

To the earth she did belong.



I, a country Sir

Loved her for my life,

But the manor lady's bright young son

Did take her for his wife.



Under forest branches

She came to me,

Until the day she cried aloud

A father I should be.



That was the last time that we met,

I never saw her again,

For she took her life on Princeton Wharf

To save my worthy name.



She found Death's open arms

And lay in their embrace

I watched as icy fingers

Clawed her lovely face.



Now I stumble through the mist

To where they laid her in her grave,

And daily I'll remember

Flowers for my Jay.



Far beyond the sand

I will take your hand,

The spirit of our love will live forever.

Far beyond the clouds

We will laugh aloud,

The spirit of our love will live again.
