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 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 |
