White Faced Lady

[Verse 1]
White Faced Lady, dance for me
The night smells deep of mystery
The ashtrays dead, the smoke is done
But left its mark on everyone

[Verse 2]
Take the arrow and the spear
The light, the eyes, the mirror clear
Take the beggars copper cup
Make the lonely thief give up

[Verse 3]
White faced Lady your lovers dead
Pools of crimson beneath his head
Oh what a farce this tragedy
Your footsteps, they're accusing me

[Verse 4]
Alas I lay awake all day
Thinking you might pass this way
What a shame, the laughs are gone
The ashtrays dead, the smoke is done

[Bridge]
Deathly cold this cinema
The screen at last come clean
A thousand seeds of emptiness
Between your bed and me

[Chorus]
White Faced Lady
White Faced Lady
White Faced Lady

[Verse 5]
White Faced Lady, look my way
Dwarf by night but king by day
The table's full the glass is filled
The carpet laid across the hill

[Verse 6]
Step out from your ocean world
Leave the curtain half unfurled
Take this beggar's empty cup
Make this lonely thief give up

[Chorus]
White Faced Lady
White Faced Lady
White Faced Lady
White Faced Lady
White Faced Lady
