Corpus Christi Carol Lyrics - Grace - Jeff Buckley

He bear her off, he bear her down 

He bear her into an orchard ground 

Lu li lu lay 

Lu li lu lay 

The falcon hath bourne my mate away 

And in that orchard there was a hold 

That was hanged with purple and gold 

And in that hold there was a bed 

And it was hanged with gold so red 

Lu li lu lay, lu li lu lay 

The falcon hath bourne my mate away 

On this bed there lyeth a knight 

His wound is bleeding day and night 

By his bedside kneeleth a maid 

And she weepeth both night and day 

Lu li lu lay, lu li lu lay 

The falcon hath bourne my mate away 

By his bedside standeth a stone 

Corpus Christi written thereon.
