Come Away Death Lyrics & Tabs by Franco Battiato

Come Away Death

guitar chords lyrics

Franco Battiato

Come away, come away, death
And in sad Cyprus let me be laid
Fie away, fie away, breath

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 away, come away, death
Not a flower, not a flower, sweet
On my black coffin let there be strewn
Not a friend, not a friend, greet
My poor corpse where my bones shall be thrown
A thousand thousand sighs to say
Lay me over

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 away, come away, death
