[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...
