Kate Wolf - Poets heart

I wrote to you some^Amwhere in South Australia A ^Fpoet's heart in the ^Ceye of a hurri^Gcane I struggle with finding words to ^Amsing these days, I said As ^Cif my thoughts are waiting in the ^B7wings for the stage to c^Emlear ^G

And you in your elegance and ^Amhumour fill the room Your ^Emlove and your con^Dcern Your ^Canger at the injustice of ^B7man's narrowness and ^Cfear I ^Dthank you for ^Em7being here ^G

You wrote of love from the ^Amcoast of Mendocino A ^Fpoet's heart ^Ccrying a fighter's ^Gtears The children of your body spread ^Amout across this earth Like ^Cmessages written across ^B7time measuring the ^Emyears ^G

You in your elegance and ^Amhumour fill the room Your ^Emlove and your con^Dcern Your ^Canger at the injustice of ^B7man's narrowness and ^Cfear I ^Dthank you for ^Em7being here ^G

I heard your songs reach ^Amout to California A ^Fpoet's heart ^Clocked in the Coeur d'A^Glene Of the old men and the booze, singing ^Amout the truth in lives Of for^Cgiveness and loyalties to ^B7friends Constant as the endless railroad ^Emties ^G

You in your elegance and ^Amhumour fill the room Your ^Emlove and your con^Dcern Your ^Canger at the injustice of ^B7man's narrowness and ^Cfear I ^Dthank you for ^Em7being here ^G

So here we are joined ^Amfinally by our words ^FAll poets' hearts ^Cclose though far a^Gpart I remember how you said that ^Amlanguage is a knife That ^Cspreads what we feel across the ^B7dry crust of someone's ^Emheart

^GYou in your elegance and ^Amhumour fill the room Your ^Emlove and your con^Dcern Your ^Canger at the injustice of ^B7man's narrowness and ^Cfear I ^Dthank you for ^Em7being here
