Lady Waters and the Hooded One - Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians (from the
album, "Element of Light")
[Verse 1}
B
"Will you dance with me, Lady Waters?"
A/B B
And a bony hand plucked her gown
E
"Will you dance with me," said the Hooded One
B A/B B
"For the plague has now reached this town."
[Verse 2]
B
"No I'll never dance", said Lady Waters.
A/B B
"For I see that your name is Death."
E
And beneath her mask she was sweating
B A/B B
At the Hooded One's fetid breath
[Verse 3]
B
"Will you dance with me, Lady Waters?
A/B B
For the fire dies in your grate
E
And your guests have gone and your lord's asleep
B A/B B
And the plague has reached your estate."
[Verse 4]
B
"Then I'll dance with you," says Lady Waters
A/B B
"For the stars grow pale in the dawn
E
But I first must get my tiara
B A/B B
For I left it out on the lawn."
[Verse 5]
B
"Oh and if you get your tiara,"
A/B B
And his eyes like coals, they did burn
E
"You must give me all, and must taste my breath
B A/B B
On the moment that you return."
[Verse 6]
B
"Very well," she said from behind her mask
A/B B
"You must take from me what is mine:
E
I'll return to you and submit to you."
B A/B B
And the Hooded One, he said "Fine."
[Verse 7]
