Joan Baez - Silver Blade Lyrics
I have myself a silver blade
The edge is sharp the handle bone
A little thing of silver made
Now it's the only thing I own
Once I knew a lordling fine
And I was bold to call him mine
The shoes upon his horse were gold
One look in my eyes and he
Bid me climb onto his horse
He asked if I'd his lady be
And go away forever more
He spoke of love songs in each kiss
And I who was a young girl then
Was promised every young girl's bliss
He led me to his castle tall
With promises and jewels until
He led me through his castle hall
Then took my clothes and worked his will
And when he had and I lay there
From my head with a silver blade
He cut a lock of coal black hair
And bid me dress and go my way
But I marked well the silver blade
And where he set it when he did
And when his back was turned I laid
It buried deep beneath his ribs
I used my dagger as a spade
Where the thorns and lilacs grow
Cut the ground into a grave
In a place even God don't know
And every evening I returned
To the place for him I'd chose
Until his skin had turned to worms
Wild dogs scattered his bones
And all I have of what I was
Is the memory of a maid
Who mistook a thief for love
But who gained a silver blade

I want to hold the hand inside you
i want to take a breath that's true
i look to you and i see nothing
i look to you to see the truth
you live your life
you go in shadows
you'll come apart and you'll go black
some kind of night into your darkness
colors your eyes with what's not there.
fade into you
strange you never knew
fade into you
i think it's strange you never knew
a stranger's light comes on slowly
a stranger's heart without a home
you put your hands into your head
and then smiles cover your heart
fade into you
strange you never knew
fade into you
i think it's strange you never knew

Fallen to my knees at the feet of composer who sings the plight beholden one A Empress of our Disorder as may have to be spoken of as just that only. Thanks Joan jr. I'd never have thought to look further than my own branding to the like of a silver blade to keep: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/personal-view/3639999/Japanese-Empress-who-dreams-of-being-invisible.html
Amazingly beautiful and haunting...so iconic
She asked Josh to write songs for her new album....SO GOOD.
hi, I went through your chart, rick and morty in Roblox
Very nice.
It’s a sad thing when an artist of Joan Baez’s caliber only gets 2600 views on a YouTube video, although it’s only several days old. But then again, if it reaches just five people and it affects them in a deep way, it’s a success. Views aren’t really important in the grand scheme of things, although I hope the tune reaches audiences everywhere somehow. What a poignant and powerful song. Enjoyed it very much.
It''s 2 in the morning, I can't sleep and I have to wake up early tomorrow. I don't even know how I got here and now I have tears in my eyes. This song is haunting me. I feel like I've fallen in a place were time didn't break people's abilities to express themselves. This Women's music did something to me.
Don't feel the video adds anything to the song. The melody and lyrics work together to stimulate the imagination of each listener.
💖To the heart...beautiful from. One's Soul...u love. Strong..
Awesome!
Extraordinary and subtle. I needed to watch it again with the sound muted to understand the film.
merci Joan ! I love you always <3
