Wishbone Ash - Lady Jay

Hear me when I cry, Listen to my song Jay, my lovely lady, To the earth she did belong. I, a country serf Loved her all my life, But the manor lady's bright young son Can 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.
