Uriah Heep - Lady in Black 2001 <br /> <br />Released 1970 <br /> <br />She came to me one morning <br />One lonely Sunday morning <br />Her long hair flowing in the midwinter wind <br />I know not how she found me <br />For in darkness I was walking <br />And destruction lay around me <br />From a fight I could not win <br /> <br />Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh <br /> <br />She asked me name my foe then <br />I said the need within some men <br />To fight and kill their brothers <br />Without thought of love or God <br />And I begged her give me horses <br />To trample down my enemies <br />So eager was my passion <br />To devour this waste of life <br /> <br />Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh <br /> <br />But she wouldn't think of battle that <br />Reduces men to animals <br />So easy to begin <br />And yet impossible to end <br />For she's the mother of all men <br />Who counselled me so wisely then <br />I feared to walk alone again <br />And asked if she would stay <br /> <br />Oh lady lend your hand outright <br />And let me rest here at your side <br />Have faith and trust in peace she said <br />And filled my heart with life <br /> <br />There's no strength in numbers <br />Have no such misconception <br />But when you need me <br />Be assured I won't be far away <br /> <br />Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh <br /> <br />Thus having spoke she turned away <br />And though I found no words to say <br />I stood and watched until I saw <br />Her black cloak disappear <br />My labour is no easier <br />But now I know I'm not alone <br />I'll find new heart <br />Each time I think upon that windy day <br /> <br />And if one day she comes to you <br />Drink deeply from her words so wise <br />Take courage from her as your prize <br />And say hello from me <br /> <br />Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh
