C                          

Linda lost her lover in the early part of autumn, and she



F                

moved out to the country hoping all would be forgotten. The



C                

last time that I saw her she was makin' sure the winter wouldn't



Em                                         F               

come through that old door frame where the door is several inches from the

ground... the cold hard ground. And it's

she learned to make jewelry out of stones and precious metals.

She sits down to the table with her friends and several others, and she

tries real hard to never be alone. And it's
