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
