Lady of the Night

Her beauty was too flawless to be true.
Oh my dear!
If you only knew!
Her name has changed so often.
Her true identity long since forgotten.
She is a lady of the night.
Where the stars
Are the only light.
The sun burns her through and through.
Oh my dear!
If you only knew!
She has tasted the blood of man.
Bled him dry
While he kissed her hand.
Led him on a merry chase.
Smiled so sweetly
To his face.
In the end with his lips tinged blue…
Oh my dear!
If you only knew!
Her kiss of death still so sweet.
A dangerous kind for you to meet.
So beware a lady in the dark.
She steals your life.
As she steals your heart.
Everything I said is true.
Oh my dear!
If you only knew!
