|
On a lonely walk this morning |
|
A light mist in the air |
|
Dark clouds laughing at me in silence |
|
Casting shadows through my hair |
|
In the distance |
|
I saw a woman |
|
Dressed in black with eyes of grey |
|
She wore her pain like a shackled spirit |
|
Eternal life was her debt to pay |
|
The lady wore black |
|
It's the sign of the prisoners lives |
|
The lady wore black |
|
See the years through the tears in her eyes |
|
The lady wore black |
|
Her mystic power calls to me |
|
The lady wore black |
|
Her love can set me free |
|
The wind song whispered a warning |
|
Telling me to beware |
|
Of the quiet shadowed woman |
|
And of the sadness |
|
I would share |
|
We sat together for sometime together in silence |
|
Never speaking in words |
|
Of all her thoughts she spoke with her eyes |
|
And I listened remembering all |
|
I heard The lady wore black |
|
It's the sign of the prisoners lives |
|
The lady wore black |
|
See the years through the tears in her eyes |
|
The lady wore black |
|
Her mystic power calls to me |
|
The lady wore black |
|
Her love can set me free |
|
The words she spoke were of forgotten lives |
|
And of all knowledge gained |
|
Mem'ries I had and didn't know why |
|
With a smile she explained |
|
I should have listened to the wind's cold warning |
|
And walked the other way |
|
I touched her soul and now |
|
I bear her sentence |
|
But for her love |
|
I'll gladly pay |
|
The lady wore black |
|
It's the sign of the prisoners lives |
|
The lady wore black |
|
See the years through the tears in her eyes |
|
The lady wore black |
|
Her mystic power calls to me |
|
The lady wore black |
|
Her love can set me free |
