Elegy Lyrics by Amorphis

Elegy

1996

[Verse 1]
Long evenings full of longing
Low-spirited my mornings
Full of longing to my nights
And all times the bitterest
'Tis my lovely I long for
It is my darling I miss
My black-browed one I grieve for

[Chorus]
Beneath the grass my treasure
Under the sand my sweet one
Beneath the grass my treasure
Under the sand my sweet one

[Verse 2]
There's no hearing my treasure
No seeing my marten-breast
No hearing her in the lane
Driving below the window
Chopping the wood by the stack
Clinking outside the cook-house
In the earth my berry lies

[Chorus]
Beneath the grass my treasure
Under the sand my sweet one
Beneath the grass my treasure
Under the sand my sweet one

[Bridge]
Long evenings full of longing
Low-spirited my mornings
Full of longing to my nights
And all times the bitterest

There's no hearing my treasure
No seeing my marten-breast
No hearing her in the lane
Driving below the window

Chopping the wood by the stack
Clinking outside the cook-house
In the earth my berry lies

In the soil she's mouldering
Under the sand my sweet one
Beneath the grass my treasure
The one I grieve for

[Instrumental Outro & Keyboard Solo]
