Lady In Black

Lyrics

She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning
 Her long hair flowing in the mid-winter 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
 Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 ♪
 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, "Give me horses to trample down my enemies"
 So eager was my passion to devour this waste of life
 Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 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 did council me so wisely then
 I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay
 Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Oh, lady, lend your hand out right
 Oh, 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 assured, I won't be far away
 Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Thus, havin' 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 it hard 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
 Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
