No I would not give you false hope
On this strange and mournful day But the mother and child reunion Is only a motion away, oh, little darling of mine. I can't for the life of me Remember a sadder day I know they say let it be But it just don't work out that way And the course of a lifetime runs Over and over again No I would not give you false hope On this strange and mournful day But the mother and child reunion Is only a motion away, oh, little darling of mine. I just can t believe it's so Though it seems strange to say I never been laid so low In such a mysterious way And the course of a lifetime runs Over and over again But I would not give you false hope On this strange and mournful day When the mother and child reunion Is only a motion away Oh the mother and child reunion Is only a motion away Oh the mother and child reunion Is only a moment away |

On Armistice Day
The Philharmonic will play But the songs that we sing Will be sad Shufflin brown tunes Hanging around No long drawn blown out excuses Were made When I needed a friend she was there Just like an easy chair Armistice Day Armistice Day That's all I really wanted to say Oh I'm weary from waiting In Washington D.C. I'm coming to see my Congressman But he's avoiding me Weary from waiting down in Washington D.C. Oh Congresswoman Won't you tell that Congressman I've waited such a long time I've about waited all I can Oh Congresswoman Won't you tell that Congressman |

Peace like a river ran thnough the city
Long past the midnight curfew We sat starry-eyed We were satisfied And I remember Misinformation followed us like a plague Nobody knew from time to time If the plans were changed If the plans were changed. You can beat us with wires You can beat us with chains You can run out your rules But you know you cans outrun the history train I've seen a glorious day. Four in the morning I woke up from out of my dreams Nowhere to go but back to sleep But I'm reconciled Oh, oh, oh, I'm going to be up for a while |

Congratulations
Oh, seems like you've done it again And I ain't had such misery Since I don't know when Oh, and I don't know when, I notice so many people Slipping away And many more waiting in the lines In the courtrooms today Love is not a game Love is not a toy Love's no romance Love will do you in And love will wash you out And needless to say You won't stand a chance, you won't stand a chance I'm hungry for learning Won't you answer me please Can a man a woman Live together in peace Oh, live together in peace |
