DEADLY NIGHTSHADE

Across the black moors where the light lost its way
There in the ground a woman does lay
Hid by the mist and stained by the clay
My love she was, in happier days

Across the black moors where the sun will not rise
Never again she opens her eyes
The Devil she joined and sits by his side
My love she was, in happier times

CHORUS
By light of letters burned
By sight of lovers spurned
Untimely laid to waste
My lips still detect the taste

Across the black moors when the hour was late
My love was lost to deadly nightshade
Darkness closed in and called from the grave
My love she was in happier days

Across the black moors where no bird ever flies
She remains there in the ground by and by
Deep in her bones, the sadness did cry
My love she was in happier times

CHORUS
By trails of falling tears
By pain of passing years
Untimely underground
My lips now make no sound

BRIDGE
There in the ground
My buried heart
All of our vows
In death did part

Nobody knows
Trouble I’ve seen
Nobody knows but me

CHORUS

By light of letters burned
By sight of lovers spurned
Untimely laid to waste
My lips still detect the
By trails of falling tears
By pain of passing years
Untimely undermined
Lost to the fate of time
