Manfred Mann Chapter Three - 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
I drank the cup she gave to me
And saw things past and things to be
........................... 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
