The Grove Of Eglantine Lyrics - The Serpent Is Rising - Styx

Written by dennis deyoung

Hey you there 

Cast an eye this way 

You with that young lust virgin smile 

Don't pretend that you're quickly melting before my eyes 

That's a lie 

'cause I see all of you 

Quite clearly now 

I like our looks your moves you know everything 

So when I ring you up in the evening I shall meet you 

In the grove of eglantine 

Just south of man's delight 

Close to a soft flowing stream 

In the grove of eglantine 

We will join as lovers might 

Between the lines of a dream 

Your magic lips 

Have made me realize 

All of the pleasures man can fantasize 

So don't pretend that you're sad to see me say goodbye 

That's a lie 

You're a wicked wench...ha 

But thanks for all the laughs 

You and your young lust virgin smile 

And when I'm gone for awhile 

I'll once more want to meet you 

In the grove of eglantine 

Just south of man's delight 

Close to a soft flowing stream 

In the grove of eglantine 

We will join as lovers might 

Between the lines of a dream 

In the grove of eglantine 

Just south of man's delight 

Close to a soft flowing stream 

In the grove of eglantine 

We will join as lovers might 

Between the lines of a dream 

In eglantine...of a dream (fade)
