|
Calling all olive branches and laid-off doves |
|
There is work to do before we say good-bye |
|
And who can see them turning to the face of love? |
|
Though I hear them pleading with me, "Don't let us die" |
|
As I sit, I can hear the troubled souls wander by |
|
And I feel them leaning on my shoulder to cry |
|
Oh one more chance |
|
Naked tree of winter seems to stand so proud |
|
Lording the poor mortal as it goes |
|
And the tears which well beneath the somber shroud |
|
Will they fall with the shame of somebody who knows? |
|
He can never be like the thought of a rose |
|
Who beauty remains even when the bloom goes |
|
Oh one more chance |
|
Or is it too late |
|
To change the way we're bound to go? |
|
Or is it too late? |
|
Surely one of us must know |
