Lady in Black - Uriah Heep

Strophe 1) 

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 

 

Refrain) 

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah 

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah 

 

 Strophe 2) 

She asked me name my foe then, I said the need within some men 

to fight and kill their brothers without throught of love of God 

And I begged her give me horses to trample down my enemies 

So eager was my passion to devour this waste of life 

 

Refrain) 

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah 

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah 

 

Strophe 3) 

But she would not think of battle that reduces men to animals 

so easy to begin and yet impossible to end 

For she´s the mother of our men who counselled me so wisely then 

I fered to walk alone again and asked if she would stay 

 

Refrain) 

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah 

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah 

 

Strophe 4) 

Oh, lady lend your hand outright and let me rest her 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 won´t be far away 

 

Refrain) 

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah 

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah 

 

Strophe 5) 

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 I´m not alone 

I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day 

And of 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 

 

Refrain) 

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
