Happy Holidays! This is my version of the traditional folk song Silver Dagger for my new album Kew Gardens Troubadour (from the jilted lovers perspective).

00:00Don't sing love songs, you wake, my darling
00:13She lies so still in shadowed light
00:19Her mother warned that men ring sorrow
00:24So now she guards her dreams at night
00:29Her mother's right hand holds a silver dagger
00:36Held between her life and mine
00:41No whispered bow can cross that border
00:46No heart can cross so harsh a line
00:54In all her life, her mother told her
00:58Men will always cause you pain
01:02Please hide your heart deep in the shadows
01:08And let no vow be made in vain
01:12Her daddy was a handsome devil
01:19He had a chain five miles long
01:23And every link, a hearted angle
01:28Of another maid he loved and wronged
01:33And so she turns from love to sorrow
01:40She won't believe what I could be
01:44I'd give my soul to ease her burden
01:50But her past won't set her free
01:55So I returned with words of kindness
02:02Not like those who came before
02:08But she still sleeps with a silver dagger
02:14No room for me beyond that door
02:20Love to love the word
02:27With a silver dagger
02:32That you keep me, and that's the solution
02:34That's not what I live
02:36You don't think we're
02:36A Teresa
02:37Mother
02:40Allison
02:40No but ever
02:41With a silver dagger
02:42It's not why no
02:44I love all
02:45On the other hand
02:45Otherwise
02:46I don't see you
02:46I love all
02:47I love you
