quiet now, oh listen now
i hear its thrill in every bone
ghostly face, painted lips
divine kiss.
life was never crazier
and i was never lovelier
and highwaymen in midnight masks
would whisk me away.
sweep, sweep me off my feet
carefree in that dress,
waiting in the silence,
i would be your moonlight Bess.
quiet love, oh listen, love,
i feel its thrill in every bone,
wait between the shadows for
a pair of pretty eyes.
life was so much crazier
and I was so much lovelier
and highwaymen in midnight masks
whisked me away,
sweep, sweep me off my feet,
take me to your hidden
hollow on the hill,
make me your highway girl.
highwayman, i'm riding nigh
'midst midnight's trees and devil's sky,
watch between the shadows for
a pair of desperate eyes,
sweep, sweep me off my feet
take me to your hidden
hollow on the hill,
capture me your highway girl.

and as i slept he sketched me
and drew blood
and as he drew he sang
a forbidden love
and i rose to rekindle the flame
but his star in me
burnt to a cinder
of shame

and so i will give you
no further grasp.
did you think your fingers
would get to my heart?
well you'll not decide now
my essence to burn,
though the light in me's broken
and i've still so much to learn.
and i demand you
put on your clothes,
come down from there.
your pedestal's crumbled
beneath you.
and i demand you
don't look at me,
how dare you imply,
did you think it would be
that easy?
and so i will give you
no further grasp.
you have your fingers
and i have my heart.
