Live Version
Verse 1:
Well your coal black hair entangled me
and you rocked me like the deep blue sea
Your eyes are the eyes of dreams come true
and my heart is a river that you run clear through
Chorus:
well katie won't you come my way
oh Katie dear,
Oh Katie won't you come my way round here
Verse 2:
well there in the garden as the sun falls down
as you're pickin' up the peppers that lay on the ground
there's none so pretty and none so fair
as that girl that stands with the coal black hair
Chorus x2
Bridge:
well you can tear down the bridge that takes her there.
burn this town, man, she don't care.
she'll climb a mountain where the trails don't run
and in the heart of the darkness she'll paint the sun
come my way, round here.
Verse 3:
at night sometimes when the screech owl cries
listening for a love with her lonely eyes
she calls me closer for company
man, i love it when she calls just to be with me
Chorus x2
(the recorded version ends with this verse:)
her coal coal black hair entangles me
as we drive down the highway where the wind blows free
her smiles the smile of dreams come true
and my hearts but a river that she runs clear through
