She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday [G] morning, her long wing in [Am] the midwinter wind.
I know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking, [G] and destruction lay around me.
From a [Am] fight I could not win.
She
[G] [Am]
[A] asked me name, my flow, then I said the need within some men to fight and kill their brother without [Am] thought of love or God.
I begged her give me horse and trample down my enemy, [G] so eager was my passion to [Am] devour this waste of life.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, [G] ha, ha, [Am] ha, [G] but [Am] she would not make a battle that reduces men to animals [G] so easy to make and yet [Am] impossible to win.
For she, the mother of all men, did [A] counsel me so wisely, that [G] I feared to walk alone again [Am] and ask if she would stay.
Oh [G] [Am] [G]
[Am] lady, lend your hand, I cried, Oh let me rest here at your [G] side,
Have faith and trust in me, She [Am] said, and filled my heart with light.
There is no strength in numbers, I've no such misconceptions,
[G] But when you need me, be [A] assured I won't be far away.
Ah, ah, ah, [G] ah, ah, ah, [Am] ah, ah, [G] ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
[Am] Lost, time is gone, she turned away,
And though I found no words to [G] say,
I stood and watched until I [Am] saw her black cloaks disappear.
My labor is no easier, but now I know I'm not [G] alone,
I find through the heart each time I [Am] think of that windy day.
And if one day she comes to you, straight deep from her words so [G] wise, take courage,
put her hat short [Am] prize and say hello for me.
Ah ah ah [G] ah ah [Am] Ah ah [G] ah ah ah
[Am] [G] [Am] [G]

There is no strength in numbers, I've no such misconceptions,
[G] But when you need me, be [A] assured I won't be far away.
Ah, ah, ah, [G] ah, ah, ah, [Am] ah, ah, [G] ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
