lyrics

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 With a shadow
a painted veil

Once there was an nobleman
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

Once there was a pretty maid
she saw her face
on the bright water
she spent days and years staring herself
a painted veil
it’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
And 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
