Lady In Black Acoustic

Lady  In  Black-Uriah  Heep

  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

  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  her  give  me  horses

  To  trample  down  my  enemies

  So  eager  was  my  passion

  To  devour  this  waste  of  life

  Ah  ah  ah

    But  she  wouldnt  think  of  battle  that

  Reduces  men  to  animals

  So  easy  to  begin

  And  yet  impossible  to  end

    For  shes  the  mother  of  our  men

  Who  counselled  me  so  wisely  then

  I  feared  to  walk  alone  again

  And  asked  if  she  would  stay

    Oh  lady  lend  your  hand  outright

  And  let  me  rest  here  at  your  side

  Have  faith  and  trust

  In  peace  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  wont  be  far  away

  Ah  ah  ah

    Thus  having  spoke  she  turned  away

  And  though  I  found  no  words  to  say

  I  stood  and  watched  until  I  saw

  Her  black  coat  disappear

  My  labour  is  no  easier

  But  now  I  know  Im  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  from  me

  Ah  ah  ah
