She Cut Off Her Long Silken Hair |
Midnight in her room |
There was music and incense and mirrors all round |
By the light of the moon |
Her silver dress slipped to the ground |
Then she knelt like St Joan |
And invisible armies attended her there |
And her knife brightly shone |
As she cut off her long silken hair |
Trapped, I suppose |
Lied for my sake |
Crushed like the rose |
That somebody picked by mistake |
Oh I knew it would come |
I knew she would leave me for some better start |
Oh I knew it would come |
She was too well rehearsed in her part |
And I measured my life |
And my heart fairly broke with the sorrow and care |
As she took down the knife |
And she cut off her long silken hair |
Oh there’s some who believe |
Oh there’s some who believe there are reasons to lie |
And there’s some who deceive |
And the truth is right there in their eyes |
Oh but I don’t see why |
In all of my life I’ve seen nothing so fair |
And I don’t see why |
She cut off her long silken hair |
I don’t see why |
I don’t see why |
