Did not find a listing for this, so I
sat down and figured it out.
This is one of my favorite Kate Wolf songs.
Which is played with piano and so beautiful.

Two-Way Waltz By: Kate Wolf
From:1979 Album Safe at anchor
No capo:  Key of A

Intro: A E D E A

Verse 1

           A                  E
You're a quicksilver lady, A child of the morning.
   D                 E            A
A flower by day, A slow fire by night.
                                E
But he's taught you things, for all that you've shown him.
        D                 E                A
He's a gazer of stars, A blue crystal light.


Chorus 1

      D            E            A
And sometimes he cries, And he says things
      F#m                D
That pierce you to your soul,
     A            E        C#    D
But he's still a man who loves you
D        A       E       A   A D A
And it hurts to let you go.


Verse 2

          A                      E
You're a man with the power, Of rattlesnake lightening
   D                           E            A
Hard like the mountains, But soft like the sun.
                                 E
And she's taught you things, For all that you've shown her.
          D                    E                A
She's a weaver of visions, In threads finely spun.


Chorus 2

      D             E              A
And sometimes she cries, And she walks away
        F#                    D
Held by the dreams that find her.
     A              E         C#    D
But she's still a woman who loves you
D         A           E           A    A D A
And her heart will always remind her.


Verse 3
          A                 E
So dance for the day, but watch for the signs
   D                           E                    A
That point out your way, when the dust fills your eyes.
                          E
And try to believe, that the sweetest hello
        D                E           A
Always comes after the hardest goodbye.


Chorus 3

     D             E             A
For two ways can sometimes make one,
        F#m                   D
That's stronger than either alone.
     A              E             C#     D
So dancers join hands, for the two-way waltz
D          A        E       A    A  D  A
But take the steps on your own.


Repeat Chorus 3


     D             E             A
For two ways can sometimes make one,
        F#m                   D
That's stronger than either alone.
     A              E             C#     D
So dancers join hands, for the two-way waltz
D          A        E       A
But take the steps on your own.
