[Am] She came to me one [A] morning, one lonely Sunday [D] morning, her long hair falling in the midwinter wind.
[A] I don't know how she found me, for in darkness I was [D] walking and destruction lay around me, [A] from a fight I could not win. _ _ _ _ _ _

_ She asked me, name I for then, I said the need within [G] some men to fight and kill their [Am] brothers without thought of love or [A] God.
And I begged her, give me horses to trample down my [G] enemies, so evil was my [Am] passion [A] to devour this waste [B] of life.

_ _ _ _ _ She would not [Am] think a battle that [A] reduces men to [G] animals so easy to begin and [Am] yet impossible to [B] end.
[Am] For she, the mother of all men, did counsel me so [G] wisely, then I feared to walk alone [Am] again and asked if she would stay. _ _

_ Oh [Am] lady, lend your hand, I cry to let me rest here at your [G] side, have faith in truth and me.
She [Am] said, I filled my heart with light, there is no strength in numb, but have no such [G] misconception.
But when you need me, be [Am] sure I won't fall away.

_ _ _ _ _ Thus having spoke, she [Em] turned [Am] away, though I found no words to [G] say, I stood and watched until I [Am] saw her black cloak disappear.
My labor is no easier, now I know I'm [G] not alone, I find new heart each time I [Am] think upon that windy [Em] day.
[Am] And if one day she [D] comes to you, drink [Am] deeply from her [G] words, oh wise, take courage from her as you [Am] cry and say hello for [Em] me.
