Driving in the wind and rain as evening comes
Longing to see him again, I've been away too long
But in the moonlight I can feel my heart is beating like a drum
A wild suspicion flashes dark across my mind
Walking up the driveway, I can see another woman by his side
I held my hand out and this is what I cried
"Here's a silver dagger, present for the bride
Silver dagger, shining in the night"
Shining in the night, shining in the night
She offered me a cup of red, red wine
Said, "Won't you try to have a good time"
I turned my eyes on to her face and I could read all the lines
I said, "Whatever you try to do you know he's mine"
Walking up behind her, I could see her face grow cold
I said, "A gypsy's curse is on you and on everything you hold"
Here's a silver dagger, present for the bride
Silver dagger, shining in the night
Shining in the night, shining in the night
Here's a silver dagger, present for the bride
Silver dagger, shining in the night
Here's a silver dagger, present for the bride
Silver dagger, shining in the night
Shining in the night
