She Cut Off Her Long Silken Hair
Lyricist:David Albert Alvin
Midnight in her room There was music and incense and mirrors all around 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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
