Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Am    Am
  She came to me one morning
    Am
One lonely Sunday morning
    G                        Am
Her long hair flowing in the midwinter wind
  Am
I know not how she found me
    Am
For in darkness I was walking
    G
And destruction lay around me
       Am
From a fight I could not win

[Chorus]
Am G   Am Am G  Am
Ah, ah,       ah

[Verse 2]
Am    Am
  She asked me name my foe then
  Am
I said the need within some men
   G                                     Am
To fight and kill their brothers without thought of men or
God
    Am
And I begged her give me horses
   Am
To trample down my enemies
   G                              Am
So eager was my passion to devour this waste of life

[Chorus]
Am G   Am Am G
Ah, ah,      ah

[Verse 3]
Am  Am
But she would not think of battle that
Am
Reduces men to animals
   G                       Am
So easy to begin and yet impossible to end
    Am
For she the mother of all men
Am
Had counciled me so wisely that
G
I feared to walk alone again
    Am
And asked if she would stay

[Chorus]
Am     G  Am Am G
Ah, ah, ah

[Verse 4]
Am  Am
Oh, lady, lend your hand, I cried
    Am
Oh, let me rest here at your side
G
Have faith and trust in me,
         Am
she said and filled my heart withlife
      Am
There is no strength in numbers
    Am
I've  no such misconceptions
G                                 Am               Am
But when you need me be assured I won't be far away

[Chorus]
    G  Am Am G
Ah, ah,   ah

[Verse 5]
Am   Am
Thus having spoke she turned away
    Am
And though I found no words to say
G                                   Am
I stood and watched until I saw her black cloak disappear
   Am
My labor is no easier
    Am
But now I know I'm not alone
  G                                     Am
I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day
    Am
And if one day she comes to you
Am                             G
Drink deeply from her words so wise
                                    Am
Take courage from her as your prize and say hello for me

[Chorus]
Am  G  Am Am   G Am Am   G Am Am
Ah, ah,     ah,       ah,     ah,
G Am Am
       ah
G Am Am G Am
