I can see that look that sends me where
you try to move in closer if you dare. So I will sit and play my waiting game. And for a while I know you'll do the same. Oh No! Watches like an eagle from its tree, then like a bird of prey she captured me. But I am older and more wise than you. Bird of prey - straight into me you fool. Oh No! Now every time I try to set her free - Yeah! Ooh! I'm glad to say she comes right back to me - Ah! But if I knew she didn't want to stay - Yeah! Ooh Ah! I wouldn't try to keep that lovely bird of prey - Ooh Ah! Ooh Ah |

from Uriah Heep - Salisbury (1999)
She came to me one morning
one lonely Sunday morning her long hair flowing in the mid winter 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 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 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 had counciled me so wisely that I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay Oh lady lend your hand I cried 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 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 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 |
