Lyrics (unofficial)

They packed us up in boxes, wooden boxes
And sent us home
Underneath the willow, near the river
By my headstone

And all you do is carry on

It's snowing now it's winter, river's frozen
And still you come
I can almost see you, and touch you
My pretty one

When all you do is carry on
