My Baby Needs A Shepherd Lyrics & Chords By Patty Griffin

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 didnt 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
