lyrics

Oh the lady will stun you when you meet face to face
Her beauty unbounded by time or by place
And she’ll dance round your shyness, poke fun at your gloom
But you can’t help but smile as she gooses the groom

She lives in the ruins of a honeymoon suite
The optimal place for the star-crossed to meet
And the oracle says that the maiden is chaste
Now she’s throwing those pennies right back in your face

And she’ll shine on you tonight
Let her shine on you tonight  Oh lady, our lady of light

She will ask to be rescued from the first rays of dawn
Then she’ll throw down a rope that is studded with thorns
And at last when you climb it, when your palms are all torn
She’ll be taking the sun in from a chair on the lawn

And she’ll shine on you tonight
Let her shine on you tonight
Oh lady, our lady of light

Don’t ask too many questions or you’ll end up like me
Marooned on an island, circumscribed by her sea
And I guess that I’m stuck here, to no one’s surprise
I surrendered my freedom when I looked through her eyes

And she’ll shine on you tonight
Let her shine on you tonight
Oh lady, dear lady, our lady of light
