Serpent Lullaby

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
