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 Princetown Moor

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 this land

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
