Lady of the night
When the lady says she loves you, then you know you've got it made
when she takes you to her boudoir and she sends away the maid
with her loving arms around you, its a feeling so secure
you say please and thank you when you ask for more
From an old cut-glass decanter handed from the distant past
she entices you with nectar as she fills your crystal glass
and her eyes like diamonds shining, stir a fire in you heart
she practices seduction like an art
[chorus]
Lady of the night
Your way is truth, you are the light.
You brighten up my oh so dreary days.
Siren of the sea
why do you never come to me?
how can you ever hope to tear me from my old familiar ways?
Silken sheets and candlelight
somehow everything is right
and this far too perfect night
must reach an end.
When the lady says she loves you, then you know you've got it made
but the dawn disturbs your slumber, and you dreams begin to fade
as the dark melts into lightness, so the lady slips away
but you know she will return again one day
[repeat chorus]
