Lyrics for The Lady Rachel - Extended First Mix

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 bed clothes she hides Now she's safe from the darkness She's safe from its clutch Now nothing can harm her At least not very much What will you dream of tonight Lady Rachel? What will you dream of tonight? Who will you dream of tonight Lady Rachel? Who will you dream of tonight? She climbs up a hill and is handed a parcel Then she unwraps the parcel And discovers a castle inside The draw bridge is open And a voice from the water Says "Welcome my daughter' "We've all been expecting you to come" She climbs up the stairs with the light of a candle Then the door with no handle is closing behind her again Now she's safe from the darkness She's safe from it's clutch Now nothing can harm her At least not very much What will you dream of tonight Lady Rachel? What will you dream of tonight? Who will you dream of tonight Lady Rachel? What will you dream of tonight? Who will you dream of tonight Lady Rachel? What will you dream of tonight?
