"Lady Day" lyrics

"Lady Day"

Her eyes like fire and ice
Her words sharper than a knife
Her hands are ever so cold
But her voice is like wine and roses

Yeah, she's both shadow and light
She's both surrender and fight
She wears her heart on her clothes
And her scars are always remembered

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yesterday
Was dreaming 'bout Lady Day
Daydreaming 'bout Lady Day
She was 18 shades of grey
18 and beautiful
Was dreaming 'bout Lady Day
Daydreaming 'bout Lady Day
She was 18 shades of grey
18 and beautiful

Her road was harder than most
She walks through walls like a ghost
Her smile's both pleasure and pain
And her guns are always loaded

Her soul's as big as the sky
Her life way ahead of its time
This town is too small for 'em both
She's a time bomb that just exploded

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yesterday
Was dreaming 'bout Lady Day
Daydreaming 'bout Lady Day
She was 18 shades of grey
18 and beautiful
Was dreaming 'bout Lady Day
Daydreaming 'bout Lady Day
She was 18 shades of grey
18 and beautiful

Woooh, woooh, woooh
Woooh, woooh, woooh, oooh
Woooh, woooh, woooh
Woooh, woooh, woooh, oooh
Woooh, woooh, woooh
Woooh, woooh, woooh, oooh

Her eyes like fire and ice
Her words sharper than a knife
Her hands are ever so cold
And her guns are always loaded

Was dreaming 'bout Lady Day
Daydreaming 'bout Lady Day
She was 18 shades of grey
18 and beautiful
Was dreaming 'bout Lady Day
Daydreaming 'bout Lady Day
She was 18 shades of grey
18 and beautiful

Woooh, woooh, woooh
Woooh, woooh, woooh, oooh
Woooh, woooh, woooh
Woooh, woooh, woooh, oooh
Woooh, woooh, woooh
Woooh, woooh, woooh, oooh
