Leaden Hearts Songtext
von Katie Noonan

What is this place how hard is my fate?
How galling this chain round my neck?
Now I am bound to slavery
′Til I regain my liberty

Once i was a tender child on my mother's knee
But now I am prison bound for slavery
No pen can write, no tongue can tell
The aching heart that bids farewell
Forget me not

When this you see, remember me
Though many miles we distant be
When this you see, remember me
When this you see, remember me
Please bear me in your mind
I′ll love til death shall stop my breath


Weep not for me with this heavy heart
I am confined here with grief
Though time may fly and hopes may die
And joyful dreams may set, you I'll never forget

May time roll on, quick though it flew
My love's constant true to you
′Til I am free and me you see
No pen can write, no tongue can tell
The aching heart that bids farewell
Forget me not

When this you see, remember
Though many miles we distant be
When this you see, remember me
When this you see, remember me
Let not absence banish our love
Cause I′ll love til death shall stop my breath
I'll love til death shall stop my breath
