My life was all laid out for me
D Am
Before I came of age
Am
C
The boy that I had loved so long
G E
A husband for me made
F G
But what he did, I never knew
Am C D
A spell stole him away
Am G
And as he went he called to me
F Dm
Am
Now at home I cannot stay
The sorceror who took my love
He left a path behind
If I could once just touch him then
Again he would be mine
Until that day I’m promise bound
To follow where he goes
Through forest, heath and desert sands
Across the ice and snow
My travels bring me to this place
Of blackened trees and grass
A stranger land I’ve never seen
Through fires an ash I pass
Now pain and tiredness take me
As I lie here in my tent
Though heart and mind would carry on
My body now is spent
Bridge: Em Emsus2 Em Emsus2 Em Emsus2 Em Em no 3rd
(Spoken)
The winds they blow against me
In the dark they howl
Protect me with your memory
Help me lest I fail
Instrumental (x3): R.H. Em/B Emsus2/B Em/B Emsus4 (2 quavers on each)
L.H. Walks E, D, C each repeat
Then Em/B 4 B x 4
My love, he knows not who I am
His master, though, is sure
He knows the journey I have made
The hardships I endured
He sees that I will never yield
Until me life is free
The spell he cast, he now removes
My love returns to me
There’s a long way to go
But I will make it there
Whatever may happen to me
I will win through to your care
There’s a long way to go
But I will make it there
Whatever may happen to me
I will win through to your care
