My Body Is Numbered Lyrics

My body is numbered
My body is burnt
You are my only
But sometimes you hurt

O, sweet lady
All in blue
With blood on your feet
Clement and true

There's nothin' like water
When you're dyin' of thirst
Cool water
Wash my body for her
For her

Come to me
Come lie in my bed
Come make up my dying
Come and be wed

I'll come to you, lady
With rain in my hands
So shall your builder
Call you again

There's nothin' like water
When you're dyin' of thirst
Cool water
Wash my body for her
For her
