DESCRIPTION:
''The Unquiet Grave'' featured in Penny Dreadful, season 2.

If you like this song, give a listen to my other Penny Dreadful cover from the season finale!

Cold blows the wind to my true love,
And gently falls the rain.
I never had but one true love,
And in greenwood he lies slain.

I’ll do as much for my true love
As any a young girl may.
I’ll sit and mourn all on his grave
For twelve months and a day.

And when twelve months and a day had passed,
The ghost did rise and speak,
“Why do you sit all on my grave
And will not let me sleep?”

‘Tis I, ’tis I, thine own true love
That sits all on your grave
I ask one kiss from your sweet lips
And that is all that I crave.

My breast is cold as the clay;
My breath is earthly strong.
And if you kiss my cold, clay lips,
Your days will not be long.

How oft on yonder grave, Sweetheart
Where we were wont to walk—
The fairest flower that e're I saw
Has withered to a stalk.

When will we meet again, sweetheart?
When will we meet again?
When the autumn leaves that fall from the trees
Are green and spring up again,
