lyrics

Laura Laura close your prayers
There's no place left to hide
Winter's stripped the dogwood's bare
And its cold as the grave tonight

Held you neath the bearded oaks
Summer stars did fall
All so suddenly gone to ghost
Pictures turned to the wall

Laura Laura remember well
A dark eyed roving man
Who lay with him and cast aside
The one who knelt at hand

Laura Laura what has become
Of your dark eyed handsome groom
Left you cold and all alone
Barren as the tomb

Laura Laura let fall your gown
Pay the chill no mind
Lay yourself beside me now
For its cold in this grave tonight

Laura
