Queensryche - The Lady Wore Black lyrics

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
