[Verse 1: Male] Your pale hand found me by the stone Where roses sleep beneath the frost I knew your face, though years had gone I knew the name I thought I’d lost [Verse 2: Female] Your coat was torn, your mouth blood red The moon laid silver on your skin I feared the quiet of the dead Then felt my old heart stir again [Pre-Chorus: Duet] The earth can keep our wedding vows The dark can claim the breath we drew But even buried under time Some part of me still reaches you [Chorus: Duet] Hold me where the black roots wind Love me past the final breath If the grave has drawn its line We will cross it, hand in hand Let the cold world close above Let the last bells call us home Nothing ends the shape of love When two hearts refuse to go [Verse 3: Male] The crooked stones stood witness there As you laid your cheek against my chest No beating answered, still I swear You heard the promise in my breath [Verse 4: Female] I wore the night like mourning lace You took my hand; I did not flee I saw the hunger in your face And chose the thing that frightened me [Bridge: Duet] No dawn can make us strangers No years can make us dust The living lose their footsteps The dead still learn to trust [Final Chorus: Duet] Hold me where the black roots wind Love me past the final breath If the grave has drawn its line We will cross it, hand in hand Let the cold world close above Let the last bells call us home Nothing ends the shape of love When two hearts refuse to go [Outro: Duet] Beneath the stones, beyond the years I’ll know your touch; you’ll know me there
