A SONG FOR DAVID
|
(Words and Music by Joan Baez)
|
|
In my heart I will wait
|
by the stony gate
|
and the little one
|
in my arms will sleep.
|
Every rising of the moon
|
makes the years grow late
|
and the love in our hearts will keep.
|
There are friends I will make
|
and bonds I will break
|
as the seasons roll by
|
and we build our own sky.
|
In my heart I will wait
|
by the stony gate
|
and the little one
|
in my arms will sleep.
|
|
And the stars in your sky
|
are the stars in mine
|
and both prisoners
|
of this life are we.
|
Through the same troubled waters
|
we carry our time,
|
you and the convicts and me.
|
There's a good thing to know
|
on the outside or in,
|
to answer not where
|
but just who I am.
|
Because the stars in your sky
|
are the stars in mine
|
and both prisoners
|
of this life are we.
|
|
And the hills that you know
|
will remain for you
|
and the little willow green
|
will stand firm.
|
The flowers that we planted
|
through the seasons past
|
will all bloom
|
on the day you return.
|
To a baby at play
|
all a mother can say,
|
he'll return on the wind
|
to our hearts, and till then
|
I will sit and I'll wait
|
by the stony gate
|
and the little one
|
'neath the trees will dance.
