Rue's Song
Lay me down upon a bed of clover
Lay me down, and then you must away
Lay me down and cover me with flowers
For I am weary, and you must face the day
You alone know all my joys and sorrows
You alone know all my hopes and fears
In the night you put your arms around me
To protect me and dry away my tears
Make a promise that we will be together
Make a promise to love and to defend
Make a promise for now and for forever
In that whisper I know you are my friend
Like a bird and winging through the forest
Like a bird I sing a soft goodbye
Like a bird I nestle in the heather
Spread your wings now, it is your time to fly
Lay me down upon a bed of clover
Lay me down and then you must away
Lay me down and cover me with flowers
My heart is with you when you must face the day
