Another song – Sweet Poison
This is the second song I am posting here – because I need a link for it for a project. My lyrics are not to be found online normally. Maybe I should change that.
In any case, I am misusing my blog for this.
Song2 – Sweet Poison: The song that inspired me to write the fantasy series “Geheimnisse der Klingenwelt” (Secrets of the Blade World). The young lady dancing in the song is the protagonist of the first book of the series: “Seelenpalter” (Splitter of Souls).
Sweet Poison
1)
A A9
With flowers in her hair
G D A
And silken scarves to flow around her body
A A9
She’ll smile at you
G D4 Fmaj7
That lovely smile of innocence you love.
d-
You want to trust her then
G
With all your heart, you’d trust her with your life.
A A9 A
And that is what she’ll want and what she’ll take.
CHORUS
A A9 A e-7
Dancer, golden dancer, You are poison,
A A9 A e-7
And your heart is black beneath your skin.
A A9 A e-7 A9 e-7 A9 e-7 A9 A
Dancer, golden dancer, dance for me one last time, one last time, one last time.
2)
She’ll dance before your eyes,
Her silken hair more clothing than her dress,
A promise in her eyes,
A silent smile upon those ruby lips.
Her feet scarce touch the ground
Which seems too rough to bear her nimble steps.
You feel you see her fly like a wild bird.
3)
You love her with your heart
And with your mind; and all your senses rage.
You want to hold her close
And smell the perfume of her fragrant hair.
To hold her dear, you dream,
Would be the answer to your troubled life.
And still you wait for her to end her dance.
4)
She’ll end her dance for you
And her white hands will come for a caress
She’ll drink her wine with you
And her grey eyes will watch you as you raise
Your chalice to your lips
And drink to her and to her graceful beauty.
And while you sink down in your dreams she’ll leave
