And they say, do not disturb her

And puts silver in your pocket

Come the morning she's still sleepi

Donna, you won't leave me
You won't leave me
I know why
Without me to bring you comfort
You'd live in darkness
And there you'd die
And Donna speaks of leaving
It's not that easy

And Donna comes to the graveyard
Still dressed in mourning
And calls my name

So you sent me on my way
And I came upon the strangest people

You said you knew a window
that always faced the sun
