Silver Dagger Lyrics

Sally Oldfield Silver Dagger

Oldfield
Driving in the wind an 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
