[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Well, pride does march
All chromed and starched
Against a brandished heart
But Jack, he will
'Til death defend his
Quiver full of darts
[Pre-Chorus 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Upon your silk
A spider spins
A curtain made of lace
So lightly then
The morning rays fall
Doily 'cross your face
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Wake gentle, then, my dear
For you'll never have to fear
Reach for me and you'll know
That I'll be near
[Chorus]
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
