Sally Oldfield

Silver Dagger

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

Here's a silver dagger
present for the bride

Silver dagger
shining in the night.
Here's a silver dagger
present für the bride

Silver dagger
shining in the night
shining in the night.
