Cover art for Lady in Black lyrics by Uriah Heep

From the liner notes of the Salisbury LP: "Lady in Black, written early in November in Bradford, was inspired by the vision of an unknown girl"

Anyway,this is one all-time classic,a marvellous song,with great music and abstract,poetic lyrics. Death, war, happiness,misery;all in the fighure of an unknown woman.Pure lyricism....
