Kate Wolf - Live In Mendocino - Lyrics
Live In Mendocino Lyrics
Lyrics for the three previously unreleased Kate Wolf songs on the June 2018 album Live In Mendocino.
GOLDEN HARMONY
Words and Music by Kate Wolf
You sounded tired and happy
such a long awaited joy
Proud of momma resting easy
and a healthy baby boy
All the roads and the hard times
came full circle by and by
Hard years fading with the sound
of a baby’s first made cry
You who touched my life
and made me try my melodies
I’m so happy for you now
and your woman in her hour
Of golden harmony
All the silver strings
you ever picked so free
All the songs from a loving heart
you sang so openly
All the pictures of the things
you wanted so much for us to see
They can’t match you now
in your father’s honesty
Chorus
Like the building of a bridge
for a crossing high above
A life once split apart
was built again by love
Like the hawks in the rolling hills
playing in the wind
The new life brings the old ones
full circle once again
Chorus

LINKS IN THE CHAIN
Words and Music by Kate Wolf
She was willing to go ahead
when other people were afraid
Remembered by the questions that she raised
Does the name Karen Silkwood
mean anything my friend
She was another link in the chain
Just another link in the chain
in the chain
Just another link in the chain
It’s the truth growing stronger
and the voices speaking louder
That makes us links in the chain
Who took the children from the mines
the young women from the mills
When the bosses turned to look the other way
It was the rebel voices
raised high against the wind
That fought for the rights we have today
Chorus
It’s the questions and the answers
the knowing and the why
The standing up to the wrong things that we see
And it takes more than one
before the battle’s done
Someone else who’s not afraid to be
Just another link in the chain
in the chain
Just another link in the chain
Down through history
it’s been the same my friend
They’ve been links in the chain
Alternate First Verse:
Willing to go ahead
when other people were afraid
Remembered by the questions that they raised
Some dead and some in prison
for the things that they believed
They were links in the chain

YOU AND I TOGETHER
Words and Music by Kate Wolf
You and I together
we could make it better
You and I together
is more that one alone
You and I together
we could change this country
You and I together
could make our lives our own
You and I together
we could watch the sunrise
You and I together
we could plant the seeds
You and I together
we could tend the harvest
You and I together
would have all we need
You and I together
we could write the papers
You and I together
we could run the grocery stores
You and I together
we could learn to use the sunshine
You and I together
could stay home from the wars
You and I together
we might see things the same way
You and I together
we might disagree
You and I together
we’d get to know each other
You and I together
could set this whole world free
