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 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
