Текст песни

She came to me one morning,
One lonely Sunday morning,
Her long hair flowing in the mid-winter 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.

She asked me name my foe then
I said the need within some men
To fight and kill their brothers
Without thought of men 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.

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 counseled me so wisely that
I feared to walk alone again
And asked if she would stay.

"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.
Have no such misconceptions.
But when you need me be assured
I won't be far away".

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.

Lady in Black

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

Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh

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

Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh

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

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's no strength in numbers
Have no such misconception
But when you need me
Be assured I won't be far away

Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh

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 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

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

Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh
