Silver Dagger Lyrics by 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.
