The Lady Wore Black

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 gray

She wore her pain like a shackled spirit

Eternal life was her debt to pay

The lady wore black, it's the sign of a prisoner's lies

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

Whoa, whoa, no, no

The wind song whispered a warning

Tellin' 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 a prisoner's lies

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

Yeah, oh, oh

The words she spoke were of forgotten lives

And of all knowledge gained

Memories 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 a prisoner's lies

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, it's the sign of a prisoner's lies, yeah

The lady wore black, see the years through the tears in her eyes

The lady wore black, her mystic power calls to me, oh

The lady wore black, her love can set me free

The lady wore black

The lady wore black

The lady wore black
