“Stretched Out On Your Grave” is a 17th-century Irish Gaelic poem passed down through time and translated into English, made famous by the incomparable Sinéad O’Connor. This song has been tucked in my back pocket for years, surfacing in quiet moments and small rooms along the way. A tribute to fortification, strength, and the resilience of all those who came before us.

Lyrics
I am stretched on your grave
And I'll lie there forever
with your hand in mine
I' be sure they would not sever
My apple tree, my brightness
It's time we were together
For I smell of the earth
And I'm worn by the weather

Do you remember
The night
Oh the night when we were lost
By the thread of the blackthorn
And the touch of the frost?
Thanks be to Jesus
We did all that was right
for your maidenhood still
Is your pillar of light

The priests and the friars
Approach me in dread
For I love you still
even though you are dead
I will always be your shelter
Come rain and through storm
And with you in your cold grave
I can hardly stay warm

I'm stretched on your grave
And I'll lie there forever
with your hand 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

I am stretched on your grave
And I'll lie here forever
with your hand in mine
I' be sure they would not sever
My apple tree, my brightness
It's time we were together
For I smell of the earth
And I'm worn by the weather

I am stretched on your grave
And I'll lie here forever
with your hand in mine
I' be sure they would not sever
My apple tree, my brightness
It's time we were together
For I smell of the earth
And I'm worn by the weather
