Silver Dagger - Gillian Welch

I’m on the dark side of a hollow hill

The sun comes up, babe, but it’s hard to get my fill

Your blue serape, it fits my mood

I’m through with Bibles and I’m through with food

Somebody’s calling, trying to track me down

And if I don’t answer, I can hang around

As slide past lovers lost in the dark

I look for high ground for to build an ark

I can’t remember when I felt so free

Maybe September, the year you believed in me

In Nineteen hundred and ninety-nine

When I found the angels a-drinking wine

Seems every castle is made of sand

The great destroyer sleeps in every man

Here comes my baby, here comes my man

With that silver dagger in his hand

With that silver dagger in his hand
