She May Meet a Tall Dark Stranger

Black as the darkest night, with a hat to hide his frown
 Nobody knows why or when he blew into town
 She was to marry her management consultant beau
 Her heart had been his since first they did meet
 The talk was of white dresses and the customary things
 But the stranger took no delight or pity in what he saw
 As the day drew closer the messages grew more
 That young man and woman more in love than ever before
 In the shadows he, lurks his patience knows no bounds
 He'll take what you love, not a trace will be found
 A traditional couple they prepared for freedoms end
 The Stag found a European city; the hen stayed at home
 Before she knew what she was dancing with that man
 His darkness engulfed her, the two of them up to and ran
 In the shadows he, lurks his patience knows no bounds
 He'll take what you love, not a trace will be found
 It could break you down – or it could drag you back around
 Cast off his halo of ash – keep searching on through the night
 That black stallion rode down the highway of fire
 The stranger dug his spurs in soon they could not be caught
 Eyes now blazing yellow with the bride holding tight
 The contrast of darkness and dirtied white
 In the shadows he, lurks his patience knows no bounds
 He'll take what you love, not a trace will be found
 It could break you down – or it could drag you back around
 Cast off his halo of ash – search on through the night
