lyrics

Every mourner loves
every mourner longs,
longs for what was lost

but I received
what every mourner longs for
my beloved, back again

That morning when
I set out
I did not expect to find him

walking among
the olive trees
with his back to me

I thought he was the gardener
come to straighten up the grounds,
I thought I'd never hear his voice again
calling me by my name

but then he called me by name,
he turned
I felt faint

We saw his body laid in the ground,
saw his battered chest fall still
We saw his body laid in the ground,
my burden felt unbearable

The cold clung to my clothes
and the weight of it bore me down
the cold clung to his very bones
and then the morning broke

Every mourner loves
every mourner longs,
longs for what was lost

but I received
what every mourner longs for
my beloved, back again
