Lady In Black

(album: The Fifth - 1989)

This other place and so far from home
I was alone, I was all on my own
The moon was shining
I saw her face
The magic woman all dressed in lace
She gave me a sigh
And I followed her to a house of light
Somewhere in the night

Behind the window, symbols of red
Painting the face of the lady in black
Behind the window, I'll never forget
The magic lady, the lady in black
She'll never come back

The lady's beauty was so divine
She took my heart with her heavenly smile
When I reached down just to kiss her hand
I suddenly tumbled down in the sand
There was broken lace lying on the ground
And the house of light was fading in the night

Behind the window, symbols of red
Painting the face of the lady in black
Behind the window, I'll never forget
The magic lady, the lady in black

Round about the cauldron go
In the poison'd entrails throw
Swelter'd venom sleeping got
Boil thou first i' the charmed pot

There was broken lace lying on the ground
And the house of light was fading in the night

Behind the window, the symbols of red
Painting the face of the lady in black
Behind the window I'll never forget
The magic lady, the lady in black

Behind the window, the symbols of red
Painting the face of the lady in black
Behind the window I'll never forget
The magic lady, the lady in black

The lady in black
The lady in black...
