Here! I want your here! I want this world to disappear
The viper's call, the piper's drawl
She does no wrong where she belongs
Keep me warm, my love, the draft is sifting in
How long, how long, did you leave my side
To the valley deep, so I could write my hymns
To be sung one day by your precious bride
Willow is my lady and we move on down the line
Stokes the fire in an old man past his prime
She wanders from the woods and she brings me cold moonshine
When I ask her to dance, no, she does not decline
Fill my mind, I know that I'm lost inside
Serpentine, the spell that you weave has bound me down and
Cast out the great divine
But we walk the silver line
When I call her name, we'll leave this white-walled cell behind
Keep me calm, my love, I see you in the trees
They try, they try to empathise
When I close my eyes, I hear you in the breeze
Yeah you ain't no sordid devil in disguise
Willow is my lady and we move on down the line
Stokes the fire in an old man past his prime
She wanders from the woods and she brings me cold moonshine
When I ask her to dance, no, she does not decline
Fill my mind, I know that I'm lost inside
Serpentine, the spell that you weave has left me reeling, baby
And when she's gone, I'll go
Will you be here alone tonight my love, my hurt
Will you be here alone tonight my love
