lyrics

Time comes when you know love no more,
And to draw back your hand is the wiser.
For you can’t keep buttons on a coat of war,
And you can’t share a kiss with a rider.

You have your ways and they suit you well,
But now I am grown and I can tell,
Things have changed ’tween soldier and sojourner, dear,
There is much I’m missing, I fear.

(chorus)
Will you, William, prove to be,
Too much for my forbearing?
Am I errant in wanting you with me,
In the smoky woods and the clearings,
Where peace can be found for a song,
Peace can be found for a song?

Love comes then is worn down by time,
And to bear it off is but a relief.
Still you don’t stop to gather stones for the shrine,
And you don’t care to part with your grief.

Please,
Sing a song of peace.
You’re a child and your children pray for peace,
Sing a song of peace.

(repeat chorus)
