[00:16.61] |
Lady in black |
[00:27.90] |
She came to me one morning |
[00:31.09] |
One lonely Sunday morning |
[00:33.55] |
Her long hair flowing |
[00:35.77] |
In the midwinter wind |
[00:39.28] |
I know not how she found me |
[00:41.83] |
For in darkness I was walking |
[00:44.97] |
And destruction lay around me |
[00:47.12] |
From a fight I could not win |
[00:50.70] |
Ah ah ah... |
[01:01.83] |
She asked me name my foe then |
[01:04.61] |
I said the need within some men |
[01:07.45] |
To fight and kill their brothers |
[01:09.89] |
Without thought of love or God |
[01:13.03] |
And I begged her give me horses |
[01:15.48] |
To trample down my enemy |
[01:19.01] |
So eager was my passion |
[01:21.33] |
To devour this waste of life |
[01:39.67] |
Ah ah ah... |
[01:46.59] |
But she would not think of battle that |
[01:49.25] |
REDUCES men to animals |
[01:51.80] |
So easy to begin |
[01:53.89] |
And then impossible to end |
[01:57.29] |
For she, the mother of all men |
[01:59.65] |
had counselled me so wisely then |
[02:01.98] |
I feared to walk alone again |
[02:05.25] |
And asked if she would stay |
[02:07.42] |
Ah ah ah... |
[02:16.92] |
Oh lady lend your hand I cried |
[02:19.34] |
And let me rest here at your side |
[02:21.73] |
Have faith and trust |
[02:23.70] |
In me she said |
[02:24.85] |
And filled my heart with life |
[02:26.67] |
There is no strength in numbers |
[02:28.92] |
Have no such misconception |
[02:31.39] |
But when you need me |
[02:33.44] |
Be assured I won't be far away |
[02:36.52] |
Ah ah ah... |
[02:46.28] |
Thus having spoke she turned away |
[02:48.68] |
And though I found no words to say |
[02:51.11] |
I stood and watched until I saw |
[02:53.58] |
Her black cloak disappear |
[02:56.01] |
My labor is no easier |
[02:58.14] |
But now I know I'm not alone |
[03:00.92] |
I find new heart each time |
[03:03.25] |
I think upon that windy day |
[03:06.01] |
And if one day she comes to you |
[03:08.16] |
Drink deeply from her words so wise |
[03:10.56] |
Take courage from her |
[03:12.52] |
As your prize |
[03:13.45] |
And say hello from me |
[03:15.87] |
Ah ah ah... |
