Laid in Earth
Rïcïnn Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thy hand belinda, darkness shades me
On thy bosom, let me rest
More I would but death invades me
Death is now a welcome guest
When I am laid I am laid in earth
May my wrongs create
No trouble, no trouble in thy breast
When I am laid I am laid in earth

May my wrongs create
No trouble, no trouble in thy breast
Remember me, remember me but ah
Forget my fates, remember me but ah
Forget my fates
Remember me, remember me but ah

Forget my fates, remember me but ah
Forget my fates
