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:

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:

Lovers lost and all alone

Spirits two forever roam
