She Left This World

{coyotes howling in the distance} {soft fingerpicked

acoustic guitar

intro}

{gentle slow ambient synthesizer swell} The quiet night is wider than the

sky

The campfire embers softly fade and die

She closed her eyes beneath the mountain pass

And left this world upon the summer grass

{warm intimate fingerpicking} She left this world with her head in my

hands (ahhh) No compass left to guide across these lands

Only the wind to whisper through the trees

Only the cold and bitter evening breeze

{swelling cello enters} {mournful crying cello

solo} {acoustic

guitar

walking bass notes} I buried memories

beside the stream

And woke up lonely

from a golden dream

The saddle is empty

and the trail is long

With only a quiet,

lonesome canyon song

{delicate fingerpicking}

She left this world... (mmmmm)

{cello

fades out}

{coyote howls echo} {guitar chord

rings out}
