The Lady in White Lyrics

Have you met the lady

The lady in white

She walks through the corridors

Every damn night

She haunts every corner

But she’s gone with the light

Have you met the lady

Have you met the lady

Have you met the lady

The lady in black

She sits in your rocking chair

And sways forth and back

She guards o’er your homestead

Like it’s under attack

Have you met the lady

Have you met the lady

So mothers grab your daughters

And fathers grab your sons

Cos no one’s guaranteed

To still be breathing when the morning comes

Have you met the ghost

At your door at the dawn

She comes in the twilight

But by morning she’s gone

She lurks in the shadows

Makes it hard to move on

Have you met the lady

Have you met the lady

So lovers grab your lovers

And husbands grab your wives

Cos no one’s guaranteed

To make it out with their lives

You only get one shot

You only get one chance

Cos you’re not owed a thing

You’ll lose it in a glance

You better risk it all

And lay it on the line

Cos the Promised Land don’t promise shit

You’d better bear in mind

And oooooooo

He’s coming for you

With his cloak and his scythe

And oooooooo

There’s not a thing you can do

To escape him alive

Have you met the man

He’s been looking quite grim

You can try to survive

But your chances are slim

He summons those ladies

His call is this hymn

Take heed of the lady

Be freed by the lady

Take heed of the lady

Be freed by the lady
