Manfred Mann - Snakeskin Garter lyrics

Young as flowers in the spring Her eyes were bright and seemed to sing The song that I had long been searching for I drank the cup she gave to me And saw things past and things to be And old bodies that I wore before She wore a garter snakeskin She wore a garter snakeskin She wore a garter snakeskin She wore a snakeskin garter .................................... To dance and laugh the night away Twilight over (and the moon high?) Higher, faster grew the song As in a circle everyone ........................................... She wore a garter snakeskin She wore a garter snakeskin She wore a garter snakeskin She wore a snakeskin garter Young as flowers in the spring Her eyes were bright and seemed to sing The song that I had long been searching for Then without a word or note ................................ With the forces of the night that claimed her soul She wore a garter snakeskin She wore a garter snakeskin She wore a garter snakeskin She wore a snakeskin garter
