  • Have you seen my husband?
    You'd know him, if you had
    He's known around old London Town
    Most people think he's mad

    My husband he talks with angels
    And with spirits that he can see
    He passes time with the divine
    But not so much with me

    But I held him when he faltered
    When earth and faith did shake
    And on my grave the words will say
    "I believed you, William Blake"

    We scraped by in the shadows
    Sown with pity and with scorn
    The great and good they never could
    Recognize a prophet born

    With poetry and engravings
    He presented Paradise
    He revealed to them a Jerusalem
    They would not recognize

    But I held him when he faltered
    When earth and faith did shake
    And on my grave the words will say
    "I believed you, William Blake"

    Mr. William Blake
    There's one promise you must make
    Dear William, if you're right
    About life on the other side, about Paradise
    Then you must promise me
    That you won't leave me when you leave
    This world that didn't believe
    Be a comfort to your wife
    She gave you up her one and only certain life

    Don't you leave me in my grave
    I believed you William Blake
    I'll be with you, damned or saved
    Don't you leave me in my grave
    I believed you William Blake Writer/s: Frank Turner
