Spooky Lady's Revenge
Kris Kristofferson · Easter Island [1978]
Looky here who's in focus now
Hard and clear to the bone
No more fears that you'd notice now
Like a tear cast in stone.
And she comes from a spring to a fountain
On the wings of her song
She's the king of the mountain she's so good
Lord, and she's gone.
'Cause she's a star see her shining
She'll go far for a price
But she's hard in the heart like a diamond
Flashin' fire cold as ice.
--- Instrumental ---
She's a star see her shining
She'll go far for a price
But she's hard in the heart like a diamond
Flashin' fire cold as ice.
She's a star see her shining
She'll go far for a price
But she's hard in the heart like a diamond
Flashin' fire cold as ice.
She's a star...
