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
<Interlude>
The wind song
whispered a warning
Telling me to beware
Of the quiet shadowed woman
And of the sadness I would share
We sat 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
<Interlude>
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
The lady wore black
The lady wore black
The lady wore black
Her mystic power calls to me
The lady wore black
The lady wore black
The lady wore black
The lady wore black
