Vengeful aspects became suspect
D G
And bending low as if to hear

And the armies ceased advancing

Lay beneath among the stars

Exchanging visions and laying arms

To waste in the dust

Where there were deserts I saw fountains
D G
Like cream the waters rise
D G
And we strolled there together
D G

Lay together truly bound

I was hoping in my hoping

To recall what I had found
