Briar Rose and the Son of Rumpelstilts

Like a spindle you weave your tale
All around me in my lonely lair,
Is there a scene where I might find the grail?
Just wake from your sleep and I will take you there.
Tell me what you see, has it all been foretold?
Do all your dreams begin within this room?
As I sat there and watched you spin hay into gold
No clue as to who worked at my magic loom.

Was it too much to ask for you love,
When all I had to do was take a little blood?

So fine is the tip of the needle you loathe
It was just a pinprick but little did I know,
I captured your heart and you started to fall
No spell I could cast from my book of lore.

Was it too much to ask for your love,
When all I had to do was take a little blood?
Is it a crime to ask for too much,
When the straw on my floor was more than enough?

Now castles are falling and so many years have passed
I can see your prince calling for him the brier will part,
But I wont let you escape without guessing my name
And for that my love you only get three days.
