What do you see, what do you see?
(I see the wind in the willow trees)
Who's come for me, who's come for me?
(It's just the breeze blowing through the leaves
Don't worry so, my dear, no one's coming for you today)
Don't tell me not to worry, I can feel someone diggin' down my grave
(Go to sleep, go to sleep)
Well I can't because I keep having bad dreams
(Have some tea, have some tea)
Well I won't because I fear you've poisoned me
(Don't be silly, dear, no one can cause you any harm in here)
Oh, I'm not bein' silly, I can feel that my death is near
Just sing to me, just sing to me
(Anything to put your mind at ease)
I'll rest my eyes just for a while
(In the morning you will see the things of light
Well, have you gone, my dear, I didn't hear you get out of bed)
Death came for me last night and took my hand and now I'm dead, dead, dead
And when we meet again I'll tell you that I told you so
When it's your time you always know, you always know
