The Lady Wore Black

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] The lady wore black It's the sign of a prisoner's 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 could set me free Woah-oh Oh no [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] The lady wore black It's the sign of a prisoner's 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 Yeah, oh no [Guitar Solo - Chris DeGarmo] [Verse 3] The words she spoke were of forgotten lives And of all knowledge gained Memories I had but didn't know why With a smile she explained I should've 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 [Chorus] The lady wore black It's the sign of a prisoner's 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 lady wore black It's the sign of a prisoner's lives 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 [Outro] The lady wore black The lady wore black The lady wore black...
