Chorus: 

4 4 1 1 

4 4 1 1 

1 1 1 1 

5 5 1 1 

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 

Chorus: 

Guitar/Banjo Break:

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 

Chorus: 

Mando/Fiddle Break:

Chorus: 

Vocal Ending:

5 5 1 1 

Lovers lost and all alone 

Spirits two forever roam
