Lady
Lyrics and music by Jon Harflett

Strangers outside your door
Haunted by your song
Wait for the sun to rise
They've been waiting so long
Bring you gifts of sad flowers
And soft Maltese lace
You take without blessing
And give them no peace

Chorus:
Is there anyone who can really find you
as they climb the winding stair?
To your chamber in the roof of night
is there anybody there?

Soldiers lost in many wars
Wait in your streets
Wounded by your beauty
They're crying for sleep
Bring the blood of their comrades
And the ashes of pain
You sip lightly their suffering
And leave them again

Chorus

Travellers from distant lands
Follow your star
Ask the winds of their journeys
To say who you are
See your face in the sunrise
Hear your song in the rain
Lost forever on highways
They will journey in vain

Chorus

Is there anybody there?
