[Blackmore’s Night - Lady in Black lyrics]
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
She wouldn't think of battle that
Reduces men to animals
So easy to begin and yet impossible to end
For she the mother of all men
Who counselled me so wisely that
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, - I cried -
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've no 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 cloak 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
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
"Hello" for me
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
She wouldn't think of battle that
Reduces men to animals
So easy to begin and yet impossible to end
For she the mother of all men
Who counselled me so wisely that
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
