Lady Messiah

© 1987 Brian Hutzell

I’d been lonely and depressed for some time

And I thought a walk late at night would ease my mind

So I set out, not expecting any happenings

When I chanced to meet a lovely girl dressed in white

She was peculiar, that's the most I can say for her

But a friendly hand was more than I had planned

So I took up on her offer of companionship and off we went

Thus my adventure began

Lady Messiah, Lady Messiah

Lady Messiah, Lead me on

Lady Messiah, Lady Messiah

Lady Messiah, Lead me on

We arrived at her house and slipped inside

Without a word, she gave me all that I desired

And as she touched me, I remembered everything

And every feeling of a love I thought had retired

Something about her made me think about my past

When I tried to question her, she said I shouldn’t ask

About what I was seeing, but to believe

What seemed to me to be a dream was more than that

Lady Messiah, Lady Messiah

Lady Messiah, Lead me on

Lady Messiah, Lady Messiah

Lady Messiah, Lead me on

The next place she took me was to an old school building

Looking inside, I could see there was a party

Every face looked familiar, but none of them could see me

I turned to the girl

To my alarm, she was gone

I found a note addressed to me where she'd stood

In it, she said we'd meet again and that I could

Take part in the happiness I’d seen that night

And that she might decide to stay with me for good

Lady Messiah, Lady Messiah

Lady Messiah, Lead me on

Lady Messiah, Lady Messiah

Lady Messiah, Lead me on
