Lady In Black - Too Mutz Blues Band

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 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 Who counselled me so wisely then I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay Ah haha haha haha haha Ah haha haha haha Ah haha haha haha haha Ah haha haha haha Oh, lady, lend your hand outright 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 know of 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 coat 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 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 and say "Hello" for me

On a lonely walk this morning A light mist in the air Dark clouds laughing at me in silence Casting shadows through my hair In the distance I saw a woman Dressed in black with eyes of grey She wore her pain like a shackled spirit Eternal life was her debt to pay The lady wore black It's the sign of the prisoners lives The lady wore black See the years through the tears in her eyes The lady wore black Her mystic powers calling me The lady wore black Her love can set me free The wind song whispered a warning Telling me to beware Of the quiet shadowed woman And of the sadness I would share We sat for sometime together in silence Never speaking in words Of all her thoughts she spoke with her eyes And I listened remembering all I heard The lady wore black It's the sign of the prisoners lives The lady wore black See the years through the tears in her eyes The lady wore black Her mystic powers calling me The lady wore black Her love can set me free The words she spoke were of forgotten lives And of all knowledge gained Mem'ries I had and didn't know why With a smile she explained I should have listened to the wind's cold warning And walked the other way I touched her soul and now I bear her sentence But for her love I'll gladly pay The lady wore black It's the sign of the prisoners lives The lady wore black See the years through the tears in her eyes The lady wore black Her mystic power calls to me The lady wore black Her love can set me free
