Lady Rachel Tab

 -  -  -  


                              
she climbs up the stairs by the light of a candle
                                           
then the door with no handle is closing behind her again
                        
she places the light on a chair by the window
        
says a prayer while the wind blows
                           
and then in her bedclothes she hides

bridge:
                       
now she's safe from the darkness 
                    
she's safe from it's clutch
               
now nothing can harm her
                 
at least not very much

chorus:
               (x43020)             
  what will you dream of      tonight lady rachel
                        
  what will you dream of tonight
              (x43020)             
  who will you dream of      tonight lady rachel
                       
  who will you dream of tonight

verse:
she climbs up a hill and is handed a parcel
then she unwraps the parcel and discoveres a castle inside
the drawbridge is open and the voice from the water
says welcome my daughter we've all been expecting you to come
she climbs up the stairs by the light of a candle
then the door with no handle is closing behind her again
