Lifehouse

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 about lady day
Daydreaming about lady day
She was eighteen shades of gray
Eighteen and beautiful

Her road was harder than most
She walks the 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 laugh way ahead of its time
This town's too small for 'em both
She's a time bomb that just exploded

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yesterday
Was dreaming about lady day
Daydreaming about lady day
She was eighteen shades of gray
Eighteen and beautiful

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 about lady day
Daydreaming about lady day
She was eighteen shades of gray
Eighteen and beautiful
