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 he debt to pay
    The lady wore black
  It's the sign of the prisoners lives
  The lady wore black
  See the years through the rears in he eyes
  The lady wore black
  Her mysric 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 shadowes 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 all knowledge gained
  Memories I had and didn't know why
  With a smile she explained
  I should have listened to the winds 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
