I know a lady, she got no age She's looking young & old in a way has dinner at midnight, breakfast at noon She can talk with the trees & make love with the moon She'll have time for rest in eternity Nighttime is her time, she doesn't sleep She laughs when she wants, when she's sad she can weep Life is too short to drowse it away & she can always dream in the day She can do magic, you are spellbound her hair can turn red, & then yellow or brown She loves everybody & doesn't ask why she can make things happen, she's living on life She can't explain the thoughts she's led by Some inner voice tells her how to decide & she will not have to justify years full of lies on the day she will die Happiness can make you sleep well at night But she wants trouble to fill her life Gaining experience, she likes her luck rough eternal peace will come early enough For how can you judge what you hadn't lived through emotions that have never been inside you She understands there is more than one mood she never cares about evil or good I know a lady, she needs no age years aren't numbers, aims aren't ways My lady isn't waiting for chance where she got in, she'll get out again She'll have time for rest in eternity |
