Esperanto - Painted Lady lyrics

rate me

The painted lady is waiting

Waiting for you to do wrong

She'll tear your heart out, make you cry

Then chill your bones till you die

Who is this woman in disguise

Who sees through you with fiery eyes

And draws the life-blood from you

The devil's daughter is she

Who seized the new tide from you

The time has come to make a stand

You're fighting over your land

And will she take you in hand

Make you a grey hunted man

You've got to fight for your soul

All that I ask for is time enough

To remember all the dreams

Leave it to me to fight

Let me come along with the scene

Slipping away when I could have

What I had in mind

This part of me that I tried in my heart to be

When is she coming to you

Or have you let her slip through

Her blazing eyes still cling to you

And tick the debt on by through

The painted lady is waiting

Waiting for you to do wrong

The painted lady is waiting

Waiting for you to do wrong
