Lyrics - Silver Dagger by Sally Oldfield

Driving in the wind and rain as evening comeslonging to see him again
I've been away too long.
But in the moonlight
I can feelmy 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 daggerpresent for the bride
Silver daggershining in the nightshining in the nightshining in the night.
She offered me a cup of redred 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 doyou 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 daggerpresent for the bride. . .
Here's a silver daggerpresent for the bride
Silver daggershining in the night.
Here's a silver daggerpresent für the bride
Silver daggershining in the nightshining in the night.
