Darlin' Kate Lyrics

Emmylou Harris

So it's finally come. You have left this world.
But we'll miss our Kate, our darling girl!
We held your hand, kissed your lovely brow,
And bid farewell, you're sailing now.
Free from the pain you lay that burden down
But your strong and giving heart,
Will surely be your crown.

As you slip the surly bonds of earth and sail away,
Perhaps we will meet again somehow, someday.
Until then, there's nothing we can do, but wait,
To see what's more, our darling Kate.

All those nights we sang
And talked 'til the sun come up,
You fed our souls, you filled our cup!
With your perfect words and oh that voice,
We fell in love, we had no choice.

And I can't say for sure where you have gone,
But in that place I'm bettin' there's a better song.
For we've all known down here the taste of joy and strife
You were the sweetest note in the chord of life.

Now you've slipped the surly bonds of earth and sailed away,
Perhaps we will meet again somehow, someday.
But if there was one name I could consecrate
It would be yours.
It would be Kate.
