Capo: 3 Intro: Sweet Kate, open your gate Here I stand in the wind Threadbare, snow in my hair How I need you again For lone stalks the hunter's moon Time takes her toll Love, please, mercy on me And my poor wandering soul Love is a star that will not shine 'Til the hour of your return I count the days in cups of wine And the candles I have burned And sunrise comes only when I am far away In dreams or when the black thunder rolls, oh oh I cannot save my own sad heart Nor your poor, poor wandering soul Bridge: I heard the grey wolf sing her serenade at night But you never held me by the light of day I climbed the redwood tree and caught the wren in flight But her wings were soft as morning and the morning slipped away Instrumental:
