Don't doubt me, Dear
Don't dare me to defy you
Don't dare me to defy you with your eyes
'Tis slander from
The Serpent's tongue
That says that I'm a liar


It's to you that I'm true
As a tread is to its tire
So would you through my window
Watch this dawn of deep desire

And take my pillow for your head
No, I have no feather bed
Rest assured this melody I sing
Holds more promise than a ring


Well, pride does march
All chromed and starched
Against a brandished heart
But Jack, he will
'Til death defend his
Quiver full of darts


And so the queen in her coat of blue
Our love will overthrow
And hand-in-hand in a ruby-ed robe
We'll humbly take the throne


So take my pillow for your head
No, I have no feather bed
Rest assured this melody I sing
Holds more promise than a ring

Upon your silk
A spider spins
A curtain made of lace
So lightly then
The morning rays fall
Doily 'cross your face


Wake gentle, then, my dear
For you'll never have to fear
Reach for me and you'll know
That I'll be near


So take my pillow for your head
No, I have no feather bed
Rest assured this melody I sing
Holds more promise than a ring
