Under forest branches she came to me,

Until the day she cried aloud a father I should be.

|Dm |F |G
That was the last time that we met,I never saw her again,for she
|Dm/F C/G |G |Dm9
took her life on Princeton Wharf to save my worthy name.

|Dm |C C/B |Am |
She found Death's open arms and lay in their embrace
2/4 4/4
|Dm |C C/B |Am |
I watched as icy fingers clawed her lovely face. Now I
|Dm |F |G
stumble through the mist to where they laid her in her grave,and
|Dm/F C/G |G |Dm9
daily I'll remember flowers for my Jay.

Far beyond this land I will take your hand,

Far beyond the clouds we will laugh aloud,
C Gsus4 G
The spirit of our love will live again.
