Lady In Black - Alternate Version

She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning

Her long hair flowing in the mid-winter wind

And 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

Aaaaaah, aaaaaah

She asked me "Name my foes then"

I said, "The need within some men to fight and kill their brother

Without thought of love or God"

And I begged to give me horses, to trample down my enemies

So eager was this passion to devour this waste of life

Aaaaaah, aaaaaah

But she would not think of battles that reduces men to animals

So easy to begin and yet impossible to end

For she, the mother of all men, did council me so wisely then

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

Aaaaaah, aaaaaah

Oh lady, lay your hand out right

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 misconception

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

Aaaaaah, aaaaaah

Thus havin' 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, think deeply from her words so wise

See courage from her as your prize and say hello for me

Aaaaaah, aaaaaah

Aaaaaah, aaaaaah...
