Carrie Land: The Lady Wore Black
The Lady Wore Black
Lyrics -Video
Artist: Queensryche
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
