Letra de Painted Veil

Once there was an honest man Fallen in love with a bonnie maid He spread gold and flowers in her hair A painted veil, she's a painted veil He walks in her steps, spies on her dreams Builds a gilded cage He's crazy in love with a stranger This is a fancy in a mirror He adores her, she's a bird in a cage And years have gone in despair, his love is vain Because he's a blind man, he don't know her name Falling in love with a shadow, a painted veil, a painted veil Once there was a noble man Fallen in love with a wealthy maid He stole gold and diamonds from her hands A painted veil, it's a painted veil And he locks her in silence and shade Builds a gilded cage He's crazy in love with a stranger This is a fancy in a mirror He adores her, she's a bird in a cage And years have gone in despair, his love is vain Because he's a blind man, he don't know her name Falling in love with a shadow, a painted veil, a painted veil Once there was a young pretty maid She saw her face on the bright water She spent days and years staring at herself A painted veil, she's a painted veil She's lost her soul, she's lost her dreams Building a gilded cage She's crazy in love with a stranger This is a fancy in a mirror I adore her, she's a bird in a cage The years have gone in despair, my love is vain Because she's a blind lady, she don't know my name Falling in love with a shadow, a painted veil, a painted veil
