Lady In Black Songtext / Lyric

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

When in darkness I was walking

Destruction lay around me from the fight I could not win



Ah haha haha haha

Ah haha haha

Ah haha haha haha

Ah haha haha



She asked me name my foe then

I said the need within some men

To fight and kill their brothers without thought of man 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 haha haha haha

Ah haha haha

Ah haha haha haha

Ah haha haha



But she wouldn't think of battle that

Reduces men to animals

So easy to begin and yet impossible to end



For she's the mother of all men

Who counselled me so wisely then

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



Ah haha haha haha

Ah haha haha

Ah haha haha haha

Ah haha haha



Oh, lady, lend your hand outright

And 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 know of such misconceptions

But when you need me be assured, I won't be far away"



Ah haha haha haha

Ah haha haha

Ah haha haha haha

Ah haha haha



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



Ah haha haha haha

Ah haha haha

Ah haha haha haha

Ah haha haha



She came to me one morning

One lonely Sunday morning

Her long hair flowing in the midwinter wind



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
