Silver Dagger Lyrics - Singles - Sally Oldfield

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 gypsy'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 

Silver dagger, shining in the night
