Lady in Gold

Lady dressed in gold She is young, she is old She's the keeper of the soul She's called death Takes you in her arms Like a child to a mother She's your sister, she's your borther She is death She's knocking at your door Don't have to run no more This day I knew was coming Wasted all my years with all of my fears And everything didn't mean nothing Lady dressed in gold She is young, she is old She's the keeper of the soul She's called death Takes you in her arms Like a child to a mother She's your sister, she's your borther She is death There's no use in fighting Doesn't matter if you're hiding Cause she is there when there's nothing left Only longs for your last breath She's in me and she's in you She is waiting for that kiss that will let you go Lady dressed in gold She is young, she is old She's the keeper of the soul She's called death Takes you in her arms Like a child to a mother She's your sister, she's your borther She is death Didn't you know? Cause everybody knows it When the time comes The lady comes for you To take you home Cause everybody knows it When the time comes The lady comes for you Oh, didn't you know? She's keeping score (She's keeping score) She's getting more (She's getting more) She's dressed in gold (She's dressed in gold) That's what I'm told (That's what I'm told) Creature of the night Hidden plain in your sight Her wings are coloured black There's no turning back
