(Don Williams)

You came to me like a dove on the wing
As great as your beauty, was your freedom within
You said to me the things on your mind
But I couldn't help you, I couldn't unwind.

Maybe I should have held you, maybe I should have tried
Maybe I could have helped you through the night
Maybe I should know better, sometimes which way to go
Maybe I just don't know.
.
Sometimes the ground looks as hard as a rock
But sometimes it's muddy, so hard to walk
Sometimes the beauty is covered with snow
Sometimes the right seems the wrong way to go.

Maybe I should have held you, maybe I should have tried
Maybe I could have helped you through the night
Maybe I should know better, sometimes which way to go
Maybe I just don't know...
