Serpent Lullaby lyrics

I met a lady on a windy day She never seemed to have too much to say Through the shouting and the swell I couldn't really tell Still in love I fell Once she showed me to her living room It looked to me more like a lovers tomb Filled with others tears Evil souvenirs Gathered through the years She said would you stay another night I can sing my serpent lullaby Not a single ugly thing Only butterflies wing Blossoms in the spring Truth is there only for me to know Hold on tightly dear and don't let go Baby I don't want to fight If you leave me in the night You will feel my poison bite Let me tell you friends I was a fool To love a lady who I knew could be so cruel But if it had been you You'd have fallen too There's nothing you could do She'd say won't you stay another night I can sing my serpent lullaby Not a single ugly thing Only butterflies wing Blossoms in the spring
