In a place where I did dwell
I met a man I loved so well
He took his love away from me
And now he's willing to set me free

He got a knife and cut me down
And on my jeans this note was found
Dig a grave and dig it deep
Marble stone from head to feat
And on my grave please place a dove
To tell the world I died for love

I've never seen his face before
But I know the soul inside
I've never touched his hand my life
But his thoughts
