Deadly Nightshade

Deadly nightshade

Poison hemlock

Feathered serpent

Born from teardrops

Some say she’s crazy

To others she’s wise

To you she brings trouble

In a beguiling guise

The answers she seeks

You pretend to know

But the path she walks

You cannot follow

Wild and free

Like waves on the shore

She may love you for a while

But she will never be yours

Her promise is empty

Though your love be true

Her heart is full

And there’s no room for you

There in the cards

Dealt by her hands

Is written the fate

Of a heartbroken man
