Silver Dagger - Solstice Version
Don't sing love songs
You'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here, right by my side
And in her right hand, a silver dagger
She says that I can't be your bride
"All men are false," says my mother
"They'll tell you wicked, loving lies
And the very next evening, they'll court another
Leave you alone to pine and sigh"
My daddy is a handsome devil
He's got a chain five miles long
And on every link, a heart does dangle
Of another maid he's loved and wrong
So court another tender maiden
And hope that she will be your wife
For I have been warned, and I have decided
To sleep alone, all of my life
Don't sing love songs
You'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here, right by my side
And in her right hand, a silver dagger
She says that I can't be your bride
You'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here, right by my side
And in her right hand, a silver dagger
She says that I can't be your bride
"All men are false," says my mother
"They'll tell you wicked, loving lies
And the very next evening, they'll court another
Leave you alone to pine and sigh"
My daddy is a handsome devil
He's got a chain five miles long
And on every link, a heart does dangle
Of another maid he's loved and wrong
So court another tender maiden
And hope that she will be your wife
For I have been warned, and I have decided
To sleep alone, all of my life
Don't sing love songs
You'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here, right by my side
And in her right hand, a silver dagger
She says that I can't be your bride
