lyrics

Serpentina
(Words/Music by Sharon Knight)

Serpentina strolls through spring showers
Licking drops of rain from face
Hair all matted down with flowers
Dress clings damp in fond embrace

Twisting blades of grass twixt fingertips
Eyes half crazed in siren swoon
Soaking stones in streams of storm’s linger drips
Lifts her voice in crimson croon

She is lilting, lilting, lilting,
Leading lovers’ hearts astray
I could give her pearls of wisdom
If she but turn her head my way

I would wrap her in wreaths of goldenrod
Bathe her in the morning dew
Tasting sweetly the pleasures of olden gods
Weaving old loves into new

We would bathe in moonlit meadows
Share our secrets under the moon
Dine on cakes and tea made from red rose
Drunk on a madness that ends too son

She is lilting, lilting, lilting,
Leading lovers’ hearts astray
she could give me pearls of wisdom
If I’d but understand her way

Instrumental

She is lilting, lilting, lilting,
Leading my poor hear astray
she could give me pearls of wisdom
If I’d but understand her way
