Dear Lady

Dear Lady

Somewhere in the night I woke up screaming
My heart stopped dreaming
Lost a love along the way

All the time the light it was just fading
While I was parading
My love just slipped away

So take my hand and guide me dear lady
I don’t know the will to go this way

If I see in your eyes
A heart beneath that never lies
If only once I could believe
A love for me would never leave
Then I would have faith that your love
Could set me free

Always I have kept the dream so near me
Quench the fire of my envy
Of a love that sets me free

All the time the light it just keeps fading
Even as I’m parading
No love that lets me be

So take my hand and guide me dear lady
I don’t know the will to go this way

So tell me it’s alright
Help me in the night
Our love will set us free
