the lady wore black
Singer:queensryche
on a lonely walk this morning
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
it's the sign of the prisoners lives
see the years through the tears in her eyes
her mystic power calls to me
the wind song whispered a warning
of the quiet shadowed woman
and of the sadness i would share
we sat for sometime together in silence
of all her thoughts she spoke with her eyes
and i listened remembering all i heard
it's the sign of the prisoners lives
see the years through the tears in her eyes
her mystic power calls to me
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
i touched her soul and now i bear her sentence
but for her love i'll gladly pay
it's the sign of the prisoners lives
see the years through the tears in her eyes
her mystic power calls to me
