[00:13.50]Once there was an honest man
[00:17.41]Fallen in love with a bonnie maid
[00:22.78]He spread gold and flowers in her hair
[00:26.87]A painted veil, she's a painted veil
[00:30.25]He walks in her steps, spies on her dreams
[00:35.26]Builds a gilded cage
[00:39.71]He's crazy in love with a stranger
[00:44.24]This is a fancy in a mirror
[00:49.44]He adores her, she's a bird in a cage
[00:53.55]And years have gone in despair, his love is vain
[00:58.21]Because he's a blind man, he don't know her name
[01:02.93]Falling in love with a shadow, a painted veil, a painted veil
[01:18.26]Once there was a noble man
[01:22.11]Fallen in love with a wealthy maid
[01:27.50]He stole gold and diamonds from her hands
[01:31.55]A painted veil, it's a painted veil
[01:34.81]And he locks her in silence and shade
[01:39.91]Builds a gilded cage
[01:44.58]He's crazy in love with a stranger
[01:48.82]This is a fancy in a mirror
[01:54.05]He adores her, she's a bird in a cage
[01:58.21]And years have gone in despair, his love is vain
[02:02.65]Because he's a blind man, he don't know her name
[02:07.66]Falling in love with a shadow, a painted veil, a painted veil
[02:23.13]Once there was a young pretty maid
[02:26.82]She saw her face on the bright water
[02:32.04]She spent days and years staring at herself
[02:36.20]A painted veil, she's a painted veil
[02:39.97]She's lost her soul, she's lost her dreams
[02:44.61]Building a gilded cage
[02:49.33]She's crazy in love with a stranger
[02:53.56]This is a fancy in a mirror
[02:58.76]I adore her, she's a bird in a cage
[03:02.96]The years have gone in despair, my love is vain
[03:07.70]Because she's a blind lady, she don't know my name
[03:12.40]Falling in love with a shadow, a painted veil, a painted veil
