Peace Will Come
Again
Apples will ripen
in the Spring
O la the livelong day
When ostriches take to the wing
Peace will come again some day
Some look for
answers in a book
O la the livelong day
I prefer a worm without a hook
Peace will come again some day
Sunken faces in
the rain
O la the livelong day
Run out to run back in again
Peace will come again some day
Sunny castle on
a cliff
O la the livelong day
Sunken men mutter ‘If…’
Peace will come again some day
They scored their
story on my back
O la the livelong day
I lay inside a crimson sack
Peace will come again some day
I found a whistle
by a stream
O la the livelong day
I played it til it boiled and steamed
Peace will come again some day
I play the pipe
from twelve to ten
O la the livelong day
I’m never going back again
Peace will come again some day
Apples will ripen
in the Spring
O la the livelong day
When ostriches take to the wing
Peace will come again some day
