Sinead O'Connor - I Am Stretched On Your Grave Lyrics
I am stretched on your grave
And will lie there forever
If your hands were in mine
I'd be sure we'd not sever
My apple tree my brightness
For I smell of the earth
And am worn by the weather
When my family thinks
That I'm safe in my bed
From night until morning
I am stretched at your head
Calling out to the air
With tears hot and wild
My grief for the girl
That I loved as a child
The night we were lost
In the shade of the blackthorn
And the chill of the frost
Thanks be to Jesus
We did what was right
And your maiden head still
Is your pillar of light
The priests and the friars
Approach me in dread
Because I still love you
My love and you're dead
I still would be your shelter
Through rain and through storm
And with you in your cold grave
I cannot sleep warm
So I'm stretched on your grave
And will lie there forever
If you hands were in mine
I'd be sure we'd not sever
My apple tree my brightness
It's time we were together
For I smell of the earth
And am worn by the weather

Sinead O'Connor I Am Stretched On Your Grave Comments
Siempre la amare ... es una genialidad
And her filthy mother should be shot. For doing what she did to her.
It’s impossible not to fall in love with this woman...she embodies bravery, character, wisdom,...what a gift from our Creator she shares with us. Bless you Sinead💕
So good even after all these years. Love you, Sinead. <3
I saw this tour, this song was so powerful, it's still one of my all time favorite live performances
Perfection.
" My apple tree my brightness " . . . this is one of my all-time favorite songs, especially this version. listen exactly at 1:41 the sound she gets and more so, how she gets it. I would have loved to be setting there front row live, realizing just what I was witnessing.
beauty is when you can shave your skull like a prisoner and get dressed with a sack of potatoes and be even more beautiful
So happy I got to see her perform live. She is an amazing singer and her voice is so enchanting.
Her music and voice brings back memories from my high school days in late 80s.
Idk why you felt the need to refer to her as a man in your notes.
No one has commented on this until today!
thank you
Break yourself!
Perfect drum loop for perfect melody song.
Love her
Great!!Just Sinead her voice and a recording of music. The song is from an anonymous 17th century poem but I'd thought she wrote it.
How come she got lost?
I think the beautiful moment was at 1.21 when she smiles realising that people are clapping :-)
Не встретив пониманья в ВИГах, ТОРИ, Она ушла от всей "love story"...
Её - Шиннейд О-Коннер - невозможно не слушать (что-то в её голосе настолько завораживает, что просто - труба)!..
She is mesmerizing.
That's a JAMES BROWN BEAT
She is perfection.
Una Performance hipnotica, unica brillante, un honor haberla visto en chile...
Sinaed is a prophetess. She is a daughter of the most high. This is why she is under attack on this earth her whole life long. Take heart Sinaed. Many people love you and need you.
her voice at 1:41
amazing
Sinead you are immortal!
what can anyone say, This is gold. She is pure fire.
amazing
true artist
this girl is blowing my mind right now.
I love her. She's such an amazing artist. Enough said.
wanna loop this track on a TEAC Reel to Reel
FUNKY DRUMMER !!
I'm shocked there's not over 1 million views. There's a lot of people who are missing out on this!
Amazingly beautiful and captivating.
the definition of live performance
she is beautiful; a beautiful voice, a beautiful smile, beautiful spirit. She can dance as beautifully as she can sing. Just a beautiful talented human being.
I could fucking listen to this song til death
I've been having the biggest crush on this woman. Although I've never consider myself lesbian.
Her meds stop working at the end
sherlock72 idiot!
This is my favourite song that she does.
brilliant
thanks for posting
Sinead "tu es trop belle " , when you move your hands , and i see your face , i'm bewitch . You are the most beautiful woman and your voice ouah ...... At the end "bravo pour la danse tradi très physique" I love you Sinead
I luv true artists! Luv her voice and the manipulation of the vocal elements she achieves.
they S%#ted all over Sinead when she tore up that picture of the pope to protest child molesters in the catholic church .But she was right
I know it
she should know, shes IRISH, there were many cases of horrendous child abuse with priests and nuns in Ireland back in the day that was covered up.
At the time the whole media apparatus made it sound like she deserved to be turfed out — but you look at it now & she was so obviously raising the right question. Shame this destroyed her career, she was a beautiful original talent
I love you!!
she is so Awsome
OMG! Her face is really beautiful.
She looks like Audrey Hepburn.
#s denoted the first by alias or middle named after all that is a lot. ..aha!!! to each man his lot # runs on MY DOMAIN, THEY CANNOT BE INSANELY PUT HERE. ..I BRING ANY UNCLEAN OBJECT THE SAME END OF. LIGHT WITCH HATH NO DARK TO END FOR...WHAT'S THE POINT IN TIME TO U WHO HAVE NO ART...NOTHING. BOTTOM LESS., WHOLE NEED NOTHING BC ART NOTHING. ..GAME OVER. ORG IS MINE TO.
This video has seriously been up since 2011 and nobody has pointed out that "he" is the wrong pronoun for Sinead in English? Thanks for posting, though.
People clapping. If you can't do anything musical, ruin overs ability by clapping.
Thankfully, this fiercely beautiful performance was recorded.
although I do recall viewing this first I can't but picture V for Vendetta Portman's character whose name completely escapes me now !! BUT yes fiercely well played performance well played you fiery siren HMMMM!!
Emmen 213000 years ago, nice grave but a little cold to lay the 2nd time.1990 - 2016. with love reinc. JACKIE
So intense, so angry, so lost.
Exactly.
Alex Wolf Fuck Off.

I was obsessed with this song in high school. I love her.
Me too!
from where we are nothing but a voice.
Que ojos mas bellos, con un final muy ritmico y sencillo. Bella

Brilliant
She can dance like no other!
I saw this tour in Berkeley...SHE WAS AMAZING..really gave her all until some idiot jumped on stage and scared the hell out of her...I love how she wheeled the drum machine out and started to sing...
James Kristoff OMG why did the idiot jump on stage I hope he did'nt intend to hurt her?hope security dragged him off?
this song...this album...sublime.
she speaks of life
I am stretched on your grave and will lie there forever
If your hands were in mine, I'd be sure we'd not sever
My apple tree, my brightness, it's time we were together
For I smell the earth and am worn by the weather
When my family thinks that I'm safe in my bed
From night until morning, I am stretched at your head
Calling out to the air with tears hot and wild
My grief for the girl that I loved as a child
Do you remember the night we were lost
In the shade of the blackthorn and the chill of the frost
Thanks be to Jesus we did what was right
And your maiden head still is your pillar of light
The priests and the friars approach me in dread
Because I still love you, my love and you're dead
But I still would be your shelter through rain and through storm
And with you in your cold grave I cannot sleep warm
just like Peter Gabriel!A true Performer
I love everything about you Sinead
Love this woman.
Shockingly good performance from Sinead O Conner
Always loved her in the 90s and ever since.
I used to have a poster of her bald face up on my wall of my bedroom when I was 17.
More powerful an image now I think.
Luv and Peace.
Sinead, we love you. You are The Best. Much love in 2016!
does anyone recognize her?
This is fuckin awesome. Fuck auto tune and all the "artists" who depend on it.
xamot27 notice the REEL 2Real
xamot27 RJ wasn't jus saying"
no words, the singing says it all
Bomb squad on the boards. Great arrangement. Great singer. Pure fire 🔥
+Stevie Grainger was it the bomb squad really?

stay strong lady
Love this lady's passion and her interpretation of this song
Holy whatever you think is holy, this is a fabulous performance. I can only imagine what it took. Thanks so much Sinead.
I remember dancing to this @ a club -end of the night & only one of the dance floor-thank you Mr. DJ for a transcendent moment...
That is one cool song. I love the bass!!
Epic performance. I love it when she starts dancing the Irish jig at the end. What a incredible artist with a beautiful voice.
+Doctor Benway who does that nowadays?
Uh, Sinead is a woman, not a man...
Are you mean or stupid?
What?!? You must be stupid. I was responding to the idiot who posted the description of this video. Maybe you should read it...
Clearly, the "idiot" poster is not a native English speaker. It was just a pronoun mishap. Be nice, both of you.
Great art!
she sings with her soul, reaches our soul.
without a doubt......the single most intense performance I have ever seen........
I want to marry you, Sinead.
爱她!!我从15到30岁一直爱她!!
Without doubt the most unusual thus the most original cover version of the original... an acapella with the hip-hop drum box... stunning.
She does well...
at all she does....
sweet girl crucified 'goddess' of TRUTH ~ no Singer Like Her .!. Shinning example where Brits excel and US craas! earnt enough Could have BLOWN THE WORLDE beloved all ways u sexy thang.......but of course I'm like a wilde horse......................

The Last Day Of Our Acquaintance by Sinead O'connor
Sinead O'Connor
The Last Day Of Our Acquaintance
this is the last day of our acquaintance
I will meet you later in somebody's office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
I know what your answer will be
I know you don't love me anymore
you used to hold my hand when the plane took off
two years ago there just seemed so much more
and I don't know what happened to our love
today's the day
our friendship has been stale
and we will meet later to finalise the details
two years ago the seed was planted
and since then you have taken me for granted
but this is the last day of our acquintance
I will meet you later in somebody's office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
I know your answer already
(repeat
I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got (1990)
This is the last day of our acquaintance
I'll meet later in somebodies office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
I know what your answer will be
I know you don't love me anymore
You used to hold my hand when the plane took off
Two years ago there just seemed so much more
And I don't know what happened to our love
Days and days our friendship has been stale
And we will meet later to finalize the details
Two years ago the seed was planted
And since then you have taken me for granted
This is the last day of acquaintance
I'll meet you later in somebodies office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
I know your answer already
This is the last day of acquaintance
I'll meet you later in somebodies office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
I know your answer already
This is the last day of our acquaintance
I will meet you later in somebody's office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
I know what your answer will be
I know you don't love me anymore
You used to hold my hand when the plane took off
Two years ago there just seemed so much more
And I don't know what happened to our love
Today's the day
Our friendship has been stale
And we will meet later to finalise the details
Two years ago the seed was planted
And since then you have taken me for granted
But this is the last day of our acquaintance
I will meet you later in somebody's office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
I know your answer already
But this is the last day of our acquaintance
I will meet you later in somebody's office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
I know your answer already
I know your answer already
I know your answer already
