Uriah Heep Uriah Heep - Lady In Black Lyrics

She came to me one morning
One lonely Sunday morning
Her long hair flowing in the midwinter wind
I know not how she found me
For in darkness I was walking
And destruction lay around me
From a fight I could not win

Ahh Ahh Ahh...

She asked me name my foe then
I said, "The need within some men
To fight and kill their brothers
Without thought of love or God."
And I begged her, "Give me horses
To trample down my enemy."
So eager was my passion
To devour this waste of life

Ahh Ahh Ahh...

But she would not think of battle that
Reduces men to animals
So easy to begin
And yet impossible to end
For she the mother of all men
Had counseled me so wisely then
I feared to walk alone again
And asked if she would stay

Ahh Ahh Ahh...

"Oh lady lend your hand," I cried
"Or let me rest here at your side."
"Have faith and trust in me," she said
And filled my heart with life

"There is no strength in numbers
Have no such misconception
But when you need me
Be a__ured I won't be far away."

Ahh Ahh Ahh...

Thus having spoke she turned away
And though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until I saw
Her black cloak disappear
My labor is no easier
But now I know I'm not alone
I find new heart
Each time I think upon that windy day

And if one day she comes to you
Drink deeply from her words so wise
Take courage from her as your prize
And say hello for me

Ahh Ahh Ahh...
