If I asked you to love me forever would you?
Would you follow me to the end of the earth?
The earth I was born on and that will lay me
Lay me beneath it's soft soil in a dreamless sleep
Dreamless sleep that sings a tunless song
Tunless song with no rhythm
No rhythm and no beat, my heart lies
Heart lies still no beat in its wake
Wake my heart once was, never again
Never again will it dance to it's beat
It's beat which has gone silent, ever so silent
So silent, here the bells ring for me
For me they sing their saddened sorrow
Saddened sorrow forever tunless
Forever tunless I will be
Will be when I lay under the soil
The soil the earth gives me to lay under
Lay under I sleep silently
Sleep silently will you
Will you follow me to the end of the earth?
The earth which I now tread, with love
With love I asked you
Asked you to love me forever?
