Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I came by myself to a very crowded place
I was looking for someone who had lines in her face
I found her there but she was past all concern
I asked her to hold me, I said, "Lady, unfold me"
But she scorned me and she told me
I was dead and I could never return
[Verse 2]
Well, I argued all night like so many have before
Saying, "Whatever you give me, I seem to need so much more"
Then she pointed at me where I kneeled on her floor
She said, "Don't try to use me or slyly refuse me
Just win me or lose me
It is this that the darkness is for"
[Verse 3]
I cried, "Oh, Lady Midnight, I fear that you grow old
The stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold"
"If we cry now," she said, "it will just be ignored"
So I walked through the morning, sweet early morning
I could hear my lady calling
You've won me, you've won me, my Lord
You've won me, you've won me, my Lord
Yes, you've won me, you've won me, my Lord
[Verse 4]
Ah, you've won me, you've won me, my Lord
Ah, you've won me, you've won me, my Lord
