The Stolen Bride - Angelo Branduardi[00:00:00]
Three long nights and sleep eludes me[00:00:18]
Wait and watch and listen[00:00:23]
But all I hear is the viper sliding[00:00:27]
And hissing along the river[00:00:31]
There I wrote this song I sing now[00:00:36]
Darkly dressed with sorrow[00:00:41]
About the bride who left her wedding[00:00:45]
Slipped out none saw none followed [00:00:49]
No one saw the extra guest[00:00:54]
Beguile her to the threshold[00:00:58]
With smiles and pretty[00:01:02]
Words about the beauty of her dress[00:01:04]
And persuade her from the feasting[00:01:06]
So naive she followed him[00:01:11]
She thought but for a moment[00:01:16]
We waited her return[00:01:20]
Till the candles burnt away[00:01:21]
We searched but none could find her[00:01:24]
A fiddler present at the wedding[00:01:28]
Was walking out next morning[00:01:33]
When the strange guest appeared before him[00:01:37]
Good day musician said he[00:01:41]
I know you search for one who's missing[00:01:46]
Vanished from her wedding[00:01:51]
If you have a brave heart walk behind me[00:01:54]
And I will lead you to her[00:01:58]
A boat as black as fishes bowels[00:02:03]
He rode 'cross shrowded waters[00:02:08]
Untill they came upon the waxen bride[00:02:11]
In a dress of gold and silver[00:02:16]
She bade the fiddler take her ring[00:02:20]
Back safe to her beloved[00:02:24]
And said here I remain[00:02:28]
And suffer not the world[00:02:31]
No pain desire or hatred[00:02:33]
The fiddler took the ring and turning[00:02:46]
Had hardly walked but one step[00:02:51]
When he heard a stiffled cry "Forgive me"[00:02:55]
As the misty waters took her[00:02:59]
Shining bright as summer light[00:03:04]
The morning that she married[00:03:08]
What unholy place was[00:03:12]
She taken to that day[00:03:14]
And by what cold of darkness [00:03:16]
Three long nights and sleep eludes me[00:03:21]
Wait and watch and listen[00:03:26]
But all I hear is the viper sliding[00:03:29]
And hissing along the river[00:03:34]
