Salome

Salome - Ana Silvera

Then spoke the King

Any earthly thing

To see you dancing

How could I stop

Those words from rising

Like flames on my tongue

Though not holy ones

If God himself could not

There's a man There's a man

And he will not love me

Like all the others long to

So bring me his head

Up on a silver platter

And with his eyes

Still wide He'll watch me dancing

And I'll be dancing for him

At night I dream

He pours cool water

In to my mouth

The veils turn water

Then he'll rise golden

There's a man There's a man

He was the only one I ever wanted

So bring me to bed

And they'll applaud my death

For who will pray

For my soul now to rise
