Blackmore's Night - Lady In Black Lyrics
She came to me one morning
One lonely Sunday morning
Her long hair flowing
In the midwinter wind
For in darkness I was walking
And destruction lay around me
From a fight I could not win
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
So eager was my passion
To devour this waste of life
But she wouldn't think of battle that
Reduces men to animals
So easy to begin
And yet impossible to end
For she's the mother of all men
Who counselled me so wisely then
I feared to walk alone again
And asked if she would stay
Oh, lady, lend your hand outright
And let me rest here at your side
"Have faith and trust in peace," she said
And filled my heart with life
There's no strength in numbers
Have no such misconception
But when you need me
Be assured, I won't be far away
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
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 from me

The Song is beter in Latin ⚜️💀⚜️🖤⚜️🥀⚜️
Simply Amazing cover! Really Blackmorized piece!!!
I wonder if mick heard this.it's very good.
That's really fantastic. Of course UH version is 100 times better, but this is also a remarkable work has been done. It's really amazingly reversed and covered. Thanks Alan.
It's impossible to end sounds good.
Great cover!!! Nobody can,t do this as well as Ritchie do,but He is Tne Master!!!
Genial.
I played this first thing every morning for three years as I got rolling on the highway with a 40 ton load. Helped me concentrate. Kept me sane. Made me happy.
Michael Fitzgerald are you a trucker from the US?
Something different but very beautiful...TY
🤟🤟🤟
I hope there is a version of gipsy too
Great version of that classic song.
I am in love with a lady in black.
Охуенная кавер версия на юрай хип
Это не "Июльское утро", а "Леди в чёрном" в исполнении Кендис.
Странно называть это кавером.
🤷♀️
Fantastic!!! Uriah Heep cover.
Wonderful to see blackmore pay homage to the heep one of the all time great bands
Super ,excelent music. : -))
4:49 aah that medieval electric guitar solo

Ричи,Россия всегда в твоём сердце!!

Poland love Blackmore"s Night
Is anyone else furious that this album is nowhere to be found found on Spotify, iTunes, or the Blackmore's Night website? All I want is to listen to this beautiful song offline, and they've made it impossible.
that is sexy music,,,
Ahhh~~ Ahhhhhh~~~~~ Ah~
Талант есть талант. Блекмор как всегда на аысоте!!!
Русский коммент.
Какая удача😄🤣
Musically I must say I like this version better, but the vocals are way better in the original
Brasil?🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Sim, do Brasil! <3
so did Richie call Ken and say "hey buddy I wanna cover your tune. my wife can nail it and I can put a great solo on it. Cool?" Then I hope Ken responded with "oh absolutely. can't wait to hear it."
Omg, Blackmore’s night pleeeaase put this album back on spotify 😭😭😭😭
very good, indeed...still the original is sway superior...
Oh my, who would have thought I could fell in love will melody like that when I'm a hardcore rock fan.
reprise bien réussie qui s'écoute agréablement
This is honestly way better than the original, thank god I found it.
Great cover 🔝🔝🔝
What's this song about?
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
in darkness I was walking
destruction lay around me
From a fight I could not win
She asked me name my foe then
I said the need within some men
To fight and kill their brothers
Without thought of men 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
she wouldn't 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 counseled me so wisely that
I feared to walk alone again
And asked if she would stay
Oh, lady, lend your hand I'd ride
And let me rest here at your side
"Have faith and trust in me," she said
And filled my heart with life
There's no is strength in numbers
I have no such misconception
But when you need me
Be assured, I won't be far away
Thus, having spoke, she turned away
And though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until I saw
Her black cloak 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
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 from me
They said Uriah Heep's was a Poor man's Deep Purple. ..but Ritchie dispelled the notion by choosing Lady In Black to cover as his song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZeFGkDuvgo thx :)
Awesome!!! Great arrangement. This is where Uriah Heep was trying to go. This song would have fit the vocals of Ray Thomas from the Moody Blues.
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
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
She wouldn't 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 that
I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay
"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
I've no such misconceptions
But when you need me be assured, I won’t be far away"
Thus, having spoke, she turned away
And though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until I saw her black cloak disappear
My labour is no easier
But now I know I'm not alone
I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day
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
Not fond of a few minor changes in the song, but I do like this version in most respects. Always will love the version by Heep more though.

I really don't like this cover! Because of vocals!
I've always loved this song. I love this cover.
I still have to say Uriah Heep's is the best because it was my husband and I's wedding song but this is a great cover. Until looking around I had no idea how much it has been. I think it's awesome because Uriah Heep gets almost zero recognition nowadays.
When I hear this music, I become impotent... It is a materialized asexual kitsch
Blackmores Night - Lady In Black
lady in black from real great women voice .
Lyrics please
sorry, but , Uriah Heep version sounds much more better
Yes. It is Candice.
I love the original version but this version is amazing as well.
Yes both are excellent in their own way
Super, fantastycznie chyba lepsze niż oryginał
when u find a decent therapist
?????????
I think she's trying to say that this music is better than therapy.
cool uriah heep tune
Love this music!
Молоток. Блэкмор. 👍👍👍✌✌✌✊✊✊
brilliant voice,brilliant performance ! cheers Blackmores Night !
I first heard this song when I got back from overseas. It reminded me of what I went through. But it put everything in perspective. When I start to remember all the bad shit I went through over there, I listen to this song snd it comforts me. Sometimes something as simple as a song can do alot more than a pile of medication. I'm in my 6o's now, but I still remember those days when I was in my 20's and the nightmare I went through. Thanks for posting this to whoever put it out here. From an old Booney Rat Grunt(US Army Infantry) Thanks
Paul Mowery I'm 36, discovered Heep, Purple, Sabbath,ELP,Zappa,etc, through my father, Vietnam vet 71/72. He was in Cam rahn Bay. I heard lots of stories of living each day as it were your last over there because you never knew, even at that time when the war began to fall apart a bit.
Thank you for your service.
@Marie Blackwood what kind of service? You was atacked by someone? Did Iraq, Afganistan, Serbia, Syria and so on, invaded USA??? Fucking killers and aggresors!
@Anastasija Jelic Regardless what the US did, this guy is innocent. There was a draft, and others just thought that serving their country was a good think. Go fuck yourself you hateful hag. Unlike this guy, you have nothing but anger and hatred behind your post. Piece of filth.
Magic, magic, true magic! I don't know what kind of magic Candice and Ritchi used here - white, black, celtic, or any other. I only know they did an incredible thing. They made a new song from Uriah Heep ballad. New accents, new thoughts and feelings. Not a simple cover, but a new song equal in strength to original composition. Brilliant interpretation of brilliant song
Leonid Sadofiev indeed
Probably celtic...this song speaks of the Goddess of War~Morrighan. At least to me
Master piece
fantastic..
Awesome version!! Thanks Blackmore's Night.
She's so good 😀🇬🇧
Sweet..........."I'll take the skip"..........
just boring
All their music is perfect for September & October and Halloween..i am so glad i found them
dress yourself as a witch this october, and play this song!
Play their music get some wine and seat back in the weekend after Friday work.
Their music is also perfect for when one goes to a Renaissance Faire

Aidar Amanzhulov a
I prefer the ensiferum's cover
where it is? i dont find it in youtube 😞
AG1EnderDemon Fuck you Ritchie Is the King of Kings.....Ensiferum...Is children.
Отличная аранжировка ... Вот только Ритчи своим "сырым" соло подпортил :(
szep es hangulatos nagyon szeretem
this is very good song.
This is one of the best cover!!
Del segundo trabajo discografico de Uriah Heep, del año 1971..Dama de negro .un clasico... con una version sin desperdicios esta de Blackmores night...
Ritchie play Uriah heep's number 😇
They are old friends ... toured together back in the 70s
So Bad !!!
🤷♀️как всегда
Not bad cover if I do say so myself
reminds me of dungeons and dragons,great song it also feels different from the original one,like it is a different song
Covers should never clone the original. Make it your own. Ask Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan ;-)
Весьма интересно эта Хиповская композиция у Блэкмора получилась. Аранжировка и все такое. Она вроде и так хороша, но его группа еще лучше сделала. И жена евонная пела здорово. Голос подошел.
+rur712 Лучше оригинала? Бросьте. Лучше оригинала сделать что-то нельзя. Оригинал есть оригинал. То что безумный Ричи )) пропустил этот шедевр от Хенсли через свою готико-вагантовскую "гитарорубку" пусть и искусную еще не значит, что он затмил оригинал. Обычно безумный Ричи не обращается к репертуару своих коллег по цеху, ибо никого не слушает (сам нередко говорил об этом). Тот факт, что он взялся за обработку этой вещи говорит о том, что он ее считает бесспорным шедевром, а Кена Хенсли - ваятелем прекрасной и магической музыки.
Это идеальная женщина.
This is such soothing music. I always listen to it when I'm not feeling well, it helps me sleep
+Shewolf134 I know how you feel, I listened to music like this when I was a child, this kind of music soothed the soul, kept the nightmares at bay, even today, nothing has really changed, I still drop like a 20 ton hammer.
Who can sleep, while Uriah Heep is playing...
Shewolf134 honestly, it might be rock and roll but the way it flows and the way her voice just washes over you is so relaxing
Listening to this now trying to get to sleep
@TheZenStar16 I like your yin and yang symbol
It's good but I still prefer Urah Heeps version.
i prefer this version on the instruments but overall prefer UH's version more.
straordinaria
just wow.
Wicked song
Blackmore's Night + this song = perfection.
Never heard this version before. Interesting.
Thanks for posting!
I'd never heard of Uriah Heep before hearing this cover, but I decided I wanted to listen to the original. In comparison to the BN version, it lacks so much depth!
Does anyone know the english version 'of this song?
@gecetreni100 this Is the English version.
+gecetreni100 ahhahahahahahahaha made me lol
I love the original Uriah Heep version and I love Blackmore's Night version too.
Lady in Black is a great song that stood the test of time. The lyrics about man's violence towards man is, unfortunately, still true today.
as true as that is the question is when will it end?
@Matthew Taylor Never, until mankind rises above itself.
Mankind cannot rise above it as a species we are wired for negative, and if we could overcome the psychological setbacks of our evolution, we’d simply breed ourselves into extinction, we’d end up much like Thanos’s homeworld, too many beings too few resources. Unfortunately humans hateful nature is placed in us as a preservation measure. I’d love to have a happy joy filled world, full of goodness, but I fear it would be short lived and ultimately more damning when it fell apart. As for me I do what I can to make my world better, I’m just too realistic to believe in fairytales.
Ritchie and Candice do a great job with this song.
I find Ritchie a bit lackluster, actually. I'd hoped for a richer embellishment of the riff, not just an electric chugg. Saying that, though, his electric solo is pretty delectable!
eles são totalmente diferente, ouço aqui no Brasil, o pessoal não acredita. hahaha..não tem nada parecido, o instrumental e a voz da Candice Night. saudações do Brasil!
