Silver Dagger Songtext
von The Devil's Interval

Don′t sing love songs
You'll wake my mother
She′s sleeping here
Right by my side
In her right hand
Is a silver dagger
She says that I
Can't be your bride

Young men are false
So says my mother
They'll tell you wicked, loving lies
And then they′ll go
And court some other
Leave you alone
To pine and cry


My daddy is
A handsome devil
He′s got a chain
That's five miles long
On every link
A heart does dangle
Of another maid
He′s loved and wronged

Go court another
Tender maiden
In hopes that she
Might be your wife
For I've been warned
So I′ve 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
In her right hand
Is a silver dagger
She says that I
Can't be your bride
