Lady in Black
Hensley / Uriah Heep: Salisbury (1971)
| Am |
She | came to me one morning, one lonely sunday morning, |
| G | Am |
Her | long hair flowing in the | mid-winter wind. |
| Am |
I | know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking, |
| G | Am |
And | destruction lay around me from a | fight I could not win. |
| Am | G | Am | G | Am |
| Ahahaaa | Haahah, | Ahahaaa | Haha | Ha! |
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, | |
| Am |
So eager was my passion to de | vour this waste of life. |
Ahahaaa Haahah, Ahahaaa Haha Ha! | |
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 counciled me so wisely that | |
I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay. | |
Ahahaaa Haahah, Ahahaaa Haha Ha! | |
"Oh lady lend your hand," I cried, "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. I've no such misconception. | |
But when you need me be assured I won't be far away. | |
Ahahaaa Haahah, Ahahaaa Haha Ha! | |
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. | |
Ahahaaa Haahah, Ahahaaa Haha Ha! | |
Ahahaaa Haahah, Ahahaaa Haha Ha... | |
