Lady, weeping at the crossroadsWould you meet your loveIn the twilight with his greyhoundsAnd the hawk on his glove?
Bribe the bird then on the branchesBribe them to be dumbStare the hot sun out of heaven, yeahThat the night may come
Starless are the night of travelBleak the winter windRun with terror all before youAnd regret behind
Run until you hear the ocean'sEverlasting cryDeep though it may be and bitterYou must drink it dry, drink it dry
Wear out patience in the lowestDungeons of the seaSearching through the stranded shipwrecksFor the golden key
Push on to the world's endPay the dread guard with a kissCross the rotten bridge that totters, yeahOver the abyss
There stands the deserted castleReady to exploreEnter, climb the marble staircaseOpen the locked door
Cross the silent empty ballroomDoubt and danger pastBlow the cobwebs from the mirrorSee yourself at last, see yourself at lastPut your hand behind the wainscotYou have done your partFind the penknife there and plunge itInto your false heartLady weeping at the crossroadsWould you meet your love?
