A pretty girl of seventeen
With just a hope of fainted dreams
To find the only one in her life
Not just a fool in disguise

There, yes he came
He held his head so high
She loved this face of silent talk
A man of honour and pride

Ten days before their wedding
Their love was young and strong
But that night he died in pain
The loss seemed so wrong

She prayed but had no answers
Yes, her smiles were turned to cries
For their sleep on pink romances
They paid a fatal price

Now she's the virgin in black
Yeah, she's the virgin in black

Do you know that you always will meet her
Every time you go near his grave

The clouds were filled with snow
Her eyes were filled with rain
The death of her beloved caused so much pain

Do you know that you always will meet her
Every time you go near his grave

Now she's the virgin in black
Yeah, she's the virgin
Now she's the virgin in black
Oh, just a virgin
