lyrics

Wake up friend of mine
It's time for me to go
I'll see you tomorrow
Until the yarrow we're below
I'll feel inclined to say hello

And ask you
What's above love in a world
In which the dove must sing
For the ones in the ditch

Don't you wish
You could stitch what's torn
Before your children are born

And hold them to your body
And whisper we are sorry
We took so much
But still we gave you life

Wake up friend of mine
You've been working hard all day I know
But I feel inclined to say hello

For loam and hands of leather
Have sewn the home together
But the sage and the heather's
On the edge of the knife

How to give more
Than we take of life
