Chords in this song5

Verse 1

Traveling lady stay a while
Until the night is over
I'm just a station on your way
I know I am not your lover

Chorus 1

Well, I lived with a child of snow
When I was a soldier
And I fought every man for her
Until the nights grew colder

Verse 2

She used to wear her hair like you
Except when she was sleeping
And then she'd weave it on a loom
Of smoke and gold and breathing

Chorus 2

And why are you so quiet now
Standing there in the doorway?
You chose your journey long before
You came upon this highway

Verse 3

Traveling lady stay a while 
Until the night is over
I'm just a station on your way
I know I am not your lover
