Peace in Our Time
Album - 9 settembre 1988 - Debaser id 56559

I know where all that time has gone
Blown and drifted listening to an August night
I see where I was wrong
But how could I know that you were right

When you said I would need something wild
Something crazy to carry me
I would see you naked and weary
But with pride in your eyes that put shame in me

I wait to find the things I need but I know

I want that love
King of Emotion
Stronger than you and so much deeper than me
I know that love is King of Emotion
King of Emotion take a walk with me
I know that love is King of Emotion
King of Emotion take a walk with me

You know where all that time has gone
Grown up and left
Washed out like an April day
See all those pretty little things you knew
Worn and faded they lie cast away

You said you would need something wild
Something special to carry you
You would see me naked and weary
But with pride in my eyes that put shame in you
Until you find the things you need I know

I want that love
King of Emotion
Stronger than you and so much deeper than me
I know that love is King of Emotion
King of Emotion take a walk with me
I know that love is King of Emotion
King of Emotion take a walk with me

Until we find the things we need I know

I want that love
King of Emotion
Stronger than you and so much deeper than me
I know that love is King of Emotion
King of Emotion take a walk with me

I want that love
King of Emotion
Stronger than you and so much deeper than me
I know that love is King of Emotion
King of Emotion take a walk with me

I should have called you brother
I should have been real close
You know I loved you brother
Enough to take over your post
I guess it's always with me
I guess it will always be there
When I step on the runway I always will see
The Boy with the thousand yard stare
But you where asleep my brother
I didn't mean you no harm
You where asleep
When they came through the wire
And I couldn't reach the alarm
You'll never leave me brother
Though I watched them fly you back home
I'm still in country brother
I won't make the world on my own
I guess it's always with me
I guess it will always be there
When I step on the runway I always will see
The Boy with the thousand yard stare

Who holds the money, who holds the need
Who holds the strings of misery or the purse of greed
And the gunmen reap while the gangsters sow
And law is cheap when the smugglers go

(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time
(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time
While I have a life to live
Then I have no life to give
(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time

In sun-kissed rooms in city slums
Minds are restless till the airmail comes
From the forest floor to the western mind
Like a chat show topic on a party line
And the hardest love of all is to forgive
As the world comes tumbling down

(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time
(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time
While I have a life to live
Then I have no life to give
(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time

Let all the rain come down on blind desire
Like a thundercloud that holds a prairie fire
I hear the blame and I see the cause
A stronger voice and a stronger law
But buyers buy and sellers sell
Public consumption of a private hell

(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time
(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time
While I have a life to live
Then I have no life to give
(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time

(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time
(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time
While I have a life to live
Then I have no life to give
(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time

If you will take my love
If you will take my stand
If you will be the one
If you will take my hand
If you will never run
I could be happy here
If you could take my pride
If you could take my tears
If you could take my side
If you could take my fears
If you could take turn the tide
You could be happy here
But I see what is done in my home-land
But I see what is done in my name
Can you see what is done in your home-land ?
Can you see what is done in your name ?
Tonight we keep our pride
Tonight we dry our tears
Tonight we leave our sides
Tonight we shead our fears
Tonight we turn the tide
And we are happy here
But I see what is done in my home-land
But I see what is done in my name
Can you see what is done in your home-land ?
Can you see what is done in your name ?
