Lyrics Xavier Naidoo - Oh My Lady

It was cold but she was lovely
I was told that she would never love me
But still I hoped, the love I felt it could be trusted
So my case soon came to justice
I found out they had taken my rights long ago
and what they gave in return wasn't nearly so
But how could I've known never was I shown
little had I grown inside I was torn
But her life's my concern
I long have ignored the fact that I love you
but I can't say anymore - oh my lady

Chorus
Oh my lady, gone for a year,
she told me maybe, that once she could stay here with me,
oh she's alive in my heart, in my mind, in my soul,
there's a glow in my heart in my mind, in my soul,
There's a glow, there's a glow, there's a glow,
there's a glow - there's a glow.

Where my lady are you now
A love so sacred still not allowed - life is hard
Sometimes life can be dreadfull
and this life I guess is more than a handfull
In this war we can not use weapons yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
And in this war we can only learn lessons ohh
They had taken unripe fruits from the tree
and I learned my lesson when they gave them to me
more could I see clouds under me
I saw wars upon land I saw wars under sea

Chorus
Oh my lady, you're gone for a year,
she told me maybe once she could stay here with me,
oh she's alive in my heart, in my mind, in my soul,
there's a light in my heart in my mind, in my soul
There's a glow, there's a glow, there's a glow -
there's a glow, oh theres a glow
Oh my lady you gone for a year,
Oh she so...
