The lady’s wrapped in robes of silence
I can see her ring finger’s bare
the words from her lips are rare
mystic metaphors lace her parlance

I’m learnin’,I’m still learnin’
to find out what her cryptic words mean
my patience is being stretched lean
but the flame of hope it keeps on burnin’

she’s got hair of auburn,blazing
she’s got eyes as black as coal
when she stares into my empty soul
I feel alive and a new hope is rising

I’m learnin,I’m still learnin’
to read the language of her eyes
she’s as unpredictable as a pair of dice
the roulette wheel of time it keeps on turnin’

The lady’s wrapped in robes of silence
she refuses to unveil her thoughts
she’s left me to connect the dots
and picture what lies beyond her fence
