The World In Her Arms - The Lilac Time

The fear of God or the fear of fear

That keeps me loving and keeps me here

Arms at the spirit keep me high

A flame in my heart that will not die

And we do it

Do it

Do it for love

I love the soil speed the plough

A distant trumpet calls me now

The brother country and sister sun

A world in her arms has just begun

And we do it

Do it

Do it for love

Build me a house with a flat roof

And I will lounge away my youth

Paradise Alley I’ll see you there

Till time on the high wire will make us care

And we do it

Do it

Do it for love

What can’t be cured must be endured

But what can be must be

And time remembered is grief forgotten

And frosts are slain and flowers begotten

And we do it

Do it

Do it for love

Sunlight, moonlight, do it for love…
