Lady in Black


Lady in black

Pretty and fair

Don't dare look back

There's pain and suffering there

 

Lady in black

Silent and scared

The cards are stacked

And shame haunts the air

 

Lady in black

Steadfast in love

Time takes back

What comes from above

 

Lady in black

Lost and forgotten

Nothing do you lack

But a lover who's rotten.

 

Lady in black

Come with me

I'll save you from your past

And give you a future still unseen
