Emmylou Harris - Darlin' Kate Lyrics
So it's finally come, you have left this worldBut we'll miss our Kate, our darling girlWe held your head, kissed your lovely browAnd bid farewell, you're sailing nowFree from the pain, you lay that burden downBut you're strong and giving heartWould surely be your crownAs you slip the surly bonds of earth and sailed wayPerhaps we will meet again somehow, somedayUntil then, there's nothing we can do but waitTo see once more, our darling KateAll those nights we sang, talked 'till the sun come upYou fed our souls, you filled our cupWith your perfect words and all that voiceWe fell in love, we had no choiceAnd I can't say for sure where you have goneBut in that place, I'm betting there's a better songWe've all known down here, taste of joy and strifeYou were the sweetest note in the chord of lifeNow you slipped the surly bonds of earth and sailed wayPerhaps we will meet again somehow, somedayBut if there was one name I could consecrateIt would be yours, it would be Kate
