Now listen close and you can hear Their mournful cries ring through the darkness Lovers lost and all alone Spirits two forever roam
Verse 1: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 5 5 1 1
Like a nightbird's wail when the wind is still The sound of river and a whippoorwill Like the driving rain on a roof of tin Her words of love call out to him
Fiddle Break: 5 5 1 1 1 1
Verse 2: In the chill of the night through falling snow Two hearts run wild nowhere to go Crossing hills and valleys wide To meet once more on the other side
Verse 3: It's a bitter Wind that sings her song About a love so right and yet so wrong And promised hearts where passions dwell No one can see no one can tell
Verse 4: Souls lost in time they were never found Frozen in (?solid?) on the cold hard ground Forever wild forever free Wrapped in the arms of eternity
