Mandolin Orange – Black Widow Lyrics

Mandolin Orange · This Side of Jordan

Folk

My name it aint nothing, my story is plain,
and I'm as worn as a two-tied shoe.
As I wake and find the day half gone
at night she's the one for me,
a love I thought I knew.

My mistress, my queen, my lord,
she's stealing my brain; if it aint gone it must be leaving.
Silence is drowned, all the lights
we shake, she don't care
there are many others still.

I know that I see her closing in on me.
Black widow killing off the ones
that love her the most.

{Instrument Break}

I remember it well, the night we fell
She was looking back and I went running after.
What a time it was. Speaking of, where does time go?
It's tangled up in her ways.

But I see her closing in on me.
Black widow killing off the ones
that love her the most.
