Silver Dagger Lyrics by Sally Oldfield

Femme

0

Driving in the wind and rain as evening comes
Longing to see him again, I've been away too long
But in the moonlight I can feel my heart is beating like a drum
A wild suspicion flashes dark across my mind

Walking up the driveway I can see another woman by his side
I held my hand out and this is what I cried

Here's a silver dagger, present for the bride
Silver dagger, shining in the night
Shining in the night
Shining in the night

She offered me a cup of red, red wine
Said, "Won't you try to have a good time?"
I turned my eyes on to her face and I could read all the lines
I said, "Whatever you try to do, you know he's mine"

Walking up behind her I could see her face grow cold
I said, "A gipsy's curse is on you and on everything you hold"

Here's a silver dagger, present for the bride
Silver dagger, shining in the night
Shining in the night
Shining in the night

Here's a silver dagger, present for the bride
Silver dagger, shining in the night
Here's a silver dagger, present for the bride
Silver dagger, shining in the night
Shining in the night
Silver dagger, present for the bride
