Patty Griffin - My Baby Needs A Shepherd lyrics

My baby needs a sheperd Shes lost out on the hill Too late I tried to call her When the night was cold and still And I tell myself Ill find her But I know I never will My baby needs a sheperd Shes lost out on the hill My baby needs an angel She never learned to fly Shell not reach sanctuary Just by looking to the sky I guess I could have carried her But I didn't even try My baby needs an angel She never learned to fly Oh I ran so far through a broken land I was following that drummer Beating in a different band And somewhere on the highway Ilet go of her hand Now shes gone forever Like her footprints in the sand
