The Lady Wore Black Lyrics - Operation: Live Crime - 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 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 

Photos 

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
