Lady in black - Uriah Heep

[00:05.94]She came to me one morning
[00:08.82]One lonely Sunday morning
[00:11.64]Her long hair flowing
[00:14.07]In the midwinter wind
[00:17.28]I know not how she found me
[00:20.16]For in darkness I was walking
[00:22.8]And destruction lay around me
[00:25.62]From a fight I could not win
[00:29.01]Ah ah ah
[00:47.94]She asked me name my foe then
[00:50.82]I said the need within some men
[00:53.46]To fight and kill their brothers
[00:56.31]Without thought of love or god
[00:59.13]And I begged her give me horses
[01:02.13]To trample down my enemies
[01:04.47]So eager was my passion
[01:07.35]To devour this waste of life
[01:09.93]Ah ah ah
[01:21.21]But she wouldn't think of battle that
[01:24.18]Reduces men to animals
[01:26.82]So easy to begin
[01:28.86]And yet impossible to end
[01:32.43]For she's the mother of our men
[01:34.92]Who counselled me so wisely then
[01:37.770004]I feared to walk alone again
[01:40.56]And asked if she would stay
[01:43.83]Oh lady lend your hand outright
[01:57.509995]And let me rest here at your side
[02:00.06]Have faith and trust
[02:01.47]In peace she said
[02:02.64]And filled my heart with life
[02:05.58]There is no strength in numbers
[02:08.37]Have no such misconception
[02:10.83]But when you need me
[02:12.72]Be assured I won't be far away
[02:16.86]Ah ah ah
[02:27.6]Thus having spoke she turned away
[02:30.36]And though I found no words to say
[02:32.97]I stood and watched until I saw
[02:36.0]Her black coat disappear
[02:38.58]My labour is no easier
[02:41.22]But now I know I'm not alone
[02:43.92]I find new heart each time
[02:45.99]I think upon that windy day
[02:49.5]And if one day she comes to you
[02:52.26]Drink deeply from her words so wise
[02:55.02]Take courage from her
[02:56.64]As your prize
[02:57.78]And say hello from me
[03:00.69]Ah ah ah
