Lady in Black

Lady in Black by Uriah Heep.
Another song that I really love.
I have used fantasy based pictures to tell the story, I hope you enjoy the tack.
There are plenty of great fantasy artist's out there and many on this site

www.fantasygallery.net

I have no connection with this site or the artist's. I do not own the song or the pictures (sadly).

Please enjoy the track

Songwriters: Hensley, Ken

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
For in darkness I was walking
And destruction lay around me
From a fight I could not win
Ahh ahh AHHH... ahh,ahh,ahh,ahh ...AHHH,aah,ahh,AHH,ahh

She asked me name my foe then
I said the need within some men
To fight and kill their brothers
Without thought of love or God
And I begged her give me horses
To trample down my enemy
So eager was my passion
To devour this waste of life
Ah ah ah ...etc

But she would not think of battle that
REDUCES men to animals
So easy to begin
And then impossible to end
For she, the mother of all men
had counselled me so wisely then
I feared to walk alone again
And asked if she would stay
Ah ah ah ...etc

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
Have no such misconception
But when you need me
Be assured I won't be far away
Ah ah ah ...etc

Thus having spoke she turned away
And though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until I saw
Her black form 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
Drink deeply from her words so wise
Take courage from her
As your prize
And say hello for me
Ah ah ah ...etc

BRILLIANT!!!

Please remind this ageing hobbit, who was/is Uriah Heep apart from that ever-so-'umble Dickens character?

Are lyrics available?

Greetings from the woodland realm!

Nonno Baggings, più rivedo il video e più mi convinco della giustezza della tua interpretazione.

Vedo la vita e il suo declino, e, soprattutto, i suoi ricordi.

Bravissimo. E da riflettere la Tua interpretazione.

Ciao

Nonno Baggings, leggi in altri links il mio commento. E' la Donna che ispira e ti guida, l'uomo l'ha fatto diventare il suo servitore . E' l'assoluta verità. Da Elena a Cleopatra, dalla matrona romana ( ce ne sono state tante) a Giuseppina. Ma tant'è. E' così. Punto e basta.

Nonno Baggings, se lo farai, rispondi in italiano.

[torreglicut]

Eccezzzzzionale. Musica d'altri tempi. Celtico frammistato a rock. Non conosco l'iknglese, ma penso si tratti d'amore, magari platonico. Gran bel pezzo che ricorre costantemente nella radio dell'autovettura e ti carica.
