Silver Bride

From the misty dreams of nighttime I sought the clarity of my days From the shades of longing Looked for the familiar glow The death of my wife's slayer Brought no comfort to me No shape from lonliness For a dream A queen of gold I made A silver bride I built From the northern summer night From the winter moon Responded not my girl No beating heart I felt I bought no sight to the silver lips No warmth from gold Within my heart a flame of desire Provoked the power of my will Forced into a silver shape A golden queen for me I made our bed under the stars Cover a plenty, bear skin hide Stroked the arc of golden cruves Kissed the lips of silver A queen of gold I made A silver bride I built From the northern summer night From the winter moon Responded not my girl No beating heart I felt I bought no sight to the silver lips No warmth from gold A queen of gold I MADE HER A silver bride I BUILT HER A queen of gold NO HEART A silver bride NO WARMTH
