Titel:		LADY IN BLACK

Interpret:	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 a darkness I was walking
And destruction lay around me
From a fight I could not win

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 way of life

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 counsel me so wisely
Then I feared to walk alone again and
Asked if she would stay

Oh lady lend your hand I creed
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 assured
I won't be far away

Thus having spoke she turned away
and tho' I found no words to say 
I stood and watched until I saw her
Black cloak dissapear 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
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.
