Lady Jane

Angels were dancing over the realm of a dying sun
In the shadows of a fading light
She wiped out the tears from her eyes in the front
Of a mirror with a handkerchief

In the garden of roses, you’ll see her sweet
Smile oh Lady Jane, oh Lady Jane

Flames of red candles burned so bright
When she fell in love for the first time
The broken cups of wishes from her crown
Shattered her dreams in the blink of an eye

In the garden of roses, you’ll see her sweet
Smile oh Lady Jane, oh Lady Jane

She fell to her knees and cried to the sky
With her last prayers in despair
Her spirit took wings and flew far away
Leaving memories that never fade

In the garden of roses, you’ll see her sweet
Smile oh Lady Jane, oh Lady Jane
Oh Lady Jane
